A&W Introduces a New Pret A Manger Collaboration for Fresh Coffee
A&W and Pret A Manger have united to enhance the former's caffeinated menu options. Arriving as a part of the all-day menu, the new Pret Coffee aims to gauge consumer response to the Pret brand across Canada while exposing new and existing A&W customers to the brand. The partnership started with a two-year trial that saw the Pret A Manger brand open pop-up shops across Toronto and Vancouver A&W locations.
"We've tested Pret coffee in select A&W locations where it quickly became a favorite among guests, which led us to make it our official coffee at all A&W restaurants,” said Scott Darlow, lead on the Pret A Manger initiative at A&W Canada. “We're excited to bring this beloved coffee to more Canadians."
