They've tried to bring Pret to Canada a few times now - and it just isn't the same. There's an A&W in the Toronto CBD (on Adelaide, by the Hockey Hall of Fame) that has a rack of Pret-a-Manger sandwiches but somehow it's just not the same. High costs are a big part of it (hell I'll just get the hot burger combo if you're charging the same price) but it doesn't have that same perception of freshness even if it is indeed fresh.

I like Pret also and have eaten there in the UK a bunch of times. A&W has their coffee now, but I hadn't seen any of the food here.
