Worthing to get another Pret a Manger – popular café chain puts up signs at newest location

A large sign recently put up outside the BP service station on Brighton Road in Worthing says ‘Pret coming soon. Pop in for freshly made food and organic coffee’.

It comes after plans for a drive-thru restaurant at the site were provisionally approved earlier this year, despite opposition from residents and an MP.

Owners of the petrol station Motor Fuel Group (MFG), had plans approved to extend the existing sales building to accommodate a new 'food-to-go', including a drive-thru, the removal of car wash, the provision of two jet washes and relocated car care bay, reconfiguration of car parking, a new bin store and associated works.

A spokesperson for MFG said this week: "We are always investing in our forecourts to serve the communities in which we operate. We look forward to the opening of the new Pret a Manger in the near future.”
