JAB-owned Pret A Manger buys rival Eat
UK sandwich chain Pret A Manger has agreed to buy its rival Eat for an undisclosed fee to take advantage of the appetite for vegetarian and vegan foods.
Pret, owned by JAB Holding, said it plans to convert as many of the 94 Eat shops as possible to its new Veggie Pret concept in response to a demand for more vegan and vegetarian options on the high street.
