Yet Another Pret A Manger Coming Soon To Downtown
Pret a Manger’s US expansion train rolls on with a location in the works at the corner of 14th and H Streets NW (street address is 1399 New York Ave NW). The white paint has been up since at least early July so we’re thinking this location could open soon. Will they become as common as McDonald’s or Potbelly in downtown DC?
