Sheree, General Manager at the new shop, has been a part of Pret for 18 years, most recently heading up the shop at Shandwick Place. She says, “We are absolutely thrilled to be tempting Edinburgh’s taste buds with its sixth Pret! Our fantastic new team are trained and ready, and we can’t wait to open the doors and meet our new customers.

“To celebrate the opening and help our customers meet the team, we’re going to open the shop for a sneak peek next Monday 18th September from 12pm. The first 400 customers through the door will receive lunch on us!”

The lunch will consist of a salad, sandwich, baguette or wrap, a dessert or snack, a cold drink and a barista prepared hot drink. Full details of the event can be found here – www.pret.co.uk/freelunch
