Dublin's first Pret A Manger is set to open next Friday on Dawson Street, creating 25 jobs.
The cafe will be the first of the chain's 20 new shops set to open up all around Ireland over the next 10 years. Surplus food from the cafe will be given to DePaul to help feed Dublin's homeless population.
They had previously been recruiting staff for their new shop with Carebrook Partnership Limited helping rollout the Pret locations across Ireland under a franchise arrangement. Pret de Manger first opened in London in 1986 but now has 558 shops around the world.
