We would like to congratulate Gallant Construction for building the first two Pret A Manger sandwich shops in the Chicago area.  Gallant completed the first sandwich shop this past September.  The second has reached its Construction Turnover Date, and is scheduled to open in December! 

Pret opened in London in 1986. College friends, Sinclair and Julian, made proper sandwiches using natural, preservative-free ingredients. The two of them had woefully little experience in the world of business. They created the sort of food they craved, but couldn’t find anywhere else. Pret has grown to over 200 shops worldwide.  Besides being located in the UK and Hong Kong, their US shops can be found in New York, Washington DC, and now Chicago.  “Every Pret shop has its own kitchen.  We get cracking early in the morning where we slice, chop, bake, and toss natural, carefully chosen ingredients all day long.  ‘Just Made’ honorable salads and sandwiches – proper food – built to taste, not to last.”

Since 1974, Gallant, located in Crystal Lake, Illinois, has been providing general contracting, construction management, facilities management, and maintenance services to retail, commercial and light industrial clients on a nationwide basis.
