Johannesburg is set to welcome a globally beloved brand as Pret A Manger prepares to open its first shops in Melrose Arch on 14th February 2025, followed by The Zone in Rosebank later this year. This marks a significant milestone, not just for the brand but for South African food lovers eager to experience Pret’s freshly made meals and organic coffee.

This expansion, spearheaded by the Millat Group, brings a brand renowned for its quality, sustainability, and ethical food sourcing into a market that appreciates freshly prepared, wholesome food. Hamza Farooqui, CEO of Millat Group, is optimistic about the launch, emphasizing that South Africans have a deep appreciation for high-quality coffee and food made with care.
