Veggie Pret will open in Manchester next month, marking the chain’s first dedicated vegetarian store outside the capital.

The new store follows requests from customers to open in the city, according to Pret food development head Hannah Dolan.

“When we asked customers on social media where they’d like to see the next Veggie Pret, Manchester was the top request,” she added. “We’re delighted to be able to reveal that the city is our next location.”

The store on Deansgate will open with a new vegetarian and vegan menu, which will also be rolled out across the other Veggie Pret shops. New items on the Veggie Pret menu include:
