Pret A Manager has closed in a Norwich shopping centre.

The coffee chain can no longer be found in Chantry Place.

Its former site, located next to Rituals on the upper ground floor, has been left completely empty with all signage taken down.

The store is believed to have closed its doors last week, following the end of its lease agreement.

A Pret spokesperson said: “It has been a pleasure to serve customers our freshly-made food and organic coffees at Chantry Place however the shop has now closed.

"Locals and visitors to Norwich will still be able to enjoy Pret’s menu at our nearby Haymarket shop, less than a five-minute walk away.”

Staff at Pret's Chantry Place site have also been employed at a nearby shop, so its closure has not resulted in any job losses.

But it has made way for a new retailer to take over the now empty unit.

Paul McCarthy, general manager at Chantry Place, said: “While Pret A Manger has closed, we have a retailer moving into the unit later this year and we will share more details soon."
