Pret a Manger has named 30 stores which face closure after sales plummeted at the high street sandwich chain.

The closures are part of a major restructuring plan which has put around 1,000 workers at risk of redundancy.

Pret said it has decided to close some stores permanently after recent sales dived by 74% compared with the same period last year.

It has reopened 339 of its sites following the Covid-19 lockdown, but continues to be hampered by social distancing measures and lower numbers of office workers in major cities.
