All A&W locations in Canada are now serving Pret A Manger freshly brewed organic classic blend coffee all day long, the companies said Monday.

Vancouver, B.C.-based A&W Food Services of Canada Inc. said Pret A Manger coffee had global following for its quality.

"Pret Coffee's exceptional quality and taste have won over coffee lovers worldwide, and we're thrilled to bring it to over 1,000 locations across Canada," Scott Darlow, lead on the Pret A Manger initiative at A&W Canada, said in a statement.

"We've tested Pret coffee in select A&W locations where it quickly became a favorite among guests, which led us to make it our official coffee at all A&W restaurants,” Darlow said. “We're excited to bring this beloved coffee to more Canadians."

Karan Suri, director of menu development at A&W Canada, said: "With Pret's organic blend, we're bringing an extraordinary coffee experience to every A&W location across Canada.”

Since opening in London in 1986, Pret has been dedicated to serving excellent organic coffee while upholding strong ethical standards, mirroring A&W Canada's focus on quality ingredients and sustainable practices.

The Pret began with a two-year trial that began in 2022 with Pret pop-up shops in select Toronto and Vancouver A&W restaurants.

The trial's success led to the opening of Canada's first standalone Pret location at 90 Adelaide Street West in Toronto and this decision to expand the Pret Coffee offering to all A&W locations coast to coast.

Pret A Manger has more than 690 shops worldwide in 18 international markets.
