In case you haven’t been in The Westfield Century City Shopping Center recently, here’s what’s on the way…  Not far from the new Pret on the ground floor, a new Läderach is being installed.  Läderach is a Swiss company founded in 1970 that focuses on chocolate that uses the best responsibly sourced ingredients.  On the second floor, where Pink Taco once stood, Georgia-based Rumi’s Kitchen promises “the essence of Persian hospitality” by the Summer.  And over in the food court, Anthony Anderson and Cedric The Entertainer’s AC Barbeque has long been in the works.

Pret A Manger Coming To Century City

You already know how excited I am that Pret a Manger, the popular British grab-and-go sandwich chain, is making inroads into LA.  While I have not been yet, readers are letting me know that the Westwood location is already open.  And in the Westfield Century City Shopping Center, plywood has recently gone up on a ground floor space near Coffee Bean, letting us know that the lucky people of Century City will soon have their very own branch of Pret.

Pret A Manger Finally Landing In LA

While there is already a (sort of) branch of British powerhouse sandwich chain Pret a Manger at Tom Bradley in LAX, Los Angeles is about to get its very own stand-alone location.  Also simply known as Pret, there is new window paper up at 901 Westwood Blvd. in Westwood Village announcing the happy news.  If you are unfamiliar with the brand, Pret a Manger (which means ready to eat in French) is a popular grab-and-go prepared sandwich chain that began life in 1983 in London and has since spread to many countries and locations across the globe (including New York and Chicago), and soon here as well.  While I don’t know what the menu will be like here in LA, I can tell you that when I’m in London, which is usually about once a year, I never miss the opportunity to grab one of their delectable super fresh sandwiches.  I usually stuff a few in my suitcase as well.  This is certainly exciting news….

Update: This is apparently a developing story, and readers are writing to let me know a branch is heading for the old Breadblok space in Studio City, as well as possibly at least one more somewhere else…
