VANCOUVER — A&W Revenue Royalties Income Fund and A&W Food Services of Canada Inc. have announced that Food Services and Pret A Manger (Europe) Limited have agreed on a development plan to expand the Pret brand across Canada following the completion of a successful two-year trial period.
Food Services has exclusive master franchisor rights to Canada for the Pret brand and will introduce its products to Canadian consumers in a variety of formats, beginning with a national roll out of Pret coffee in A&W restaurants this fall.
The Pret brand was first offered in a trial pop-up format in certain A&W restaurants in 2022, and expanded to a first standalone Pret location in downtown Toronto in 2024. The development plan calls for Food Services continuing to increase the number of physical locations offering Pret products across Canada over an initial 10-year development term.
