New Broughty Ferry Pret A Manger opening this summer
The sandwich chain will open its second branch in Dundee in the coming months.
Work is well under way on transforming the former M&Co shop on Brook Street, though an exact opening date is still to be confirmed.
Operated by franchise partner Joup Group, the new shop will be the 24th outlet in Scotland.
The shop will have 'an innovative design' and is thought to be one of the biggest in the UK, with seating for 78 customers.
Henry Dawes, chief executive of Joup, said: 'I couldn't be prouder to bring a new Pret shop to Broughty Ferry.
'Having grown up here, it's been a real passion of mine to get another Pret shop open, giving our community more freshly made food and great tasting, Barista-made drink options.
'Keep your eyes peeled for goodies and a little opening party to say thank you for welcoming us to the local community.
'We can't wait to bring all the joy of Pret to Broughty Ferry and can't wait to serve customers soon.'
The sandwich chain opened a branch on Whitehall Crescent in Dundee city centre last year.
Another branch is earmarked for the new BT call centre by Greenmarket.

Ann Summers gives staff body-cams amid shoplifting epidemic
Ann Summers is introducing staff body-cameras that can film customers as the lingerie shop battles a surge in shoplifting. The company said it was testing cameras worn by employees in a number of its shops, saying it wanted to 'significantly reduce the issues faced in store, ultimately ensuring our teams feel safe and supported'. The cameras may prove controversial, given that the retailer sells intimate items including lingerie and sex toys. Ann Summers deliberately sends its online orders in plain boxes and envelopes that do not feature its logo, saying: 'Your privacy is really important to us, and, with our discreet packaging, you can be totally confident about shopping with us.' However, the retailer said the trial was necessary in response to a rise a shoplifting and antisocial behaviour, which has 'become increasingly challenging' for staff. Ann Summers said: 'The personal safety and wellbeing of our colleagues is absolutely essential.' The new cameras will be able to record up to 10 hours of footage from a single charge and can be activated by the wearer when they feel unsafe. The lingerie retailer the latest in a growing number of companies to introduce the cameras. Tesco, Pret a Manger and English Heritage have all already rolled them out for workers. While many shops are turning to body cameras, some customers dislike being filmed. A recent survey from YouGov found 29pc of 18 to 24-year-olds were not comfortable with store workers wearing the cameras, compared with 17pc of over-55s. More than 40pc of people said they would think twice about their behaviour if staff were wearing body-worn cameras, according to the survey of 2,200 UK adults. Ann Summers' decision comes in response to a surge in thefts and attacks on workers across the high street. Official figures last month revealed the number of shoplifting offences jumped by a fifth in the year to March.

Dunelm bedding that feels 'really expensive' and comes in 3 colours gets 30% cut
'This is amazing bedding. Utterly soft and warm. I sleep so well under these cosy duvet covers.' Dunelm is currently hosting a mid-summer sale, which is seeing thousands of products get discounts up to 50 per cent. From curtains and rugs to garden chairs and storage spaces, shoppers will be able to get their hands on a cheeky homeware bargain across a range of products. For those wanting to switch up the aesthetic in their bedroom or bring the finishing touches to a guest room, you can never go wrong with a new set of bedding. With designs ranging from silky and simplistic to brightly coloured and delicately detailed, there is a wide selection of bedding choices included in Dunelm's sale. One stunning set that many shoppers say 'looks more expensive than it is', is the Edie Duvet Cover & Pillowcase Set. Normally retailing for between £30 and £45, shoppers can now get their hands on this luxury set for 30 per cent off, with prices starting at £21. Said to provide the 'perfect harmony of comfort and exotic design', this Edie Duvet set is crafted with soft polyester to provide a luxurious feel that will enable a rejuvenating night's sleep. Featuring an eye-catching quilted Moroccan design, this bedding will add sophistication and intrigue to your bedroom. Available in olive, natural or clay to best match the room's aesthetic, this duvet comes with matching pillowcases to create a seamlessly coordinated and stylish look. However, Dunelm states that this bedding isn't just about boasting a 'trendy design', as it also comes with a secure button closure to ensure a snug fit for an uninterrupted sleep. In terms of sizes, shoppers can currently buy a single set for £21 (RRP £30) or a double for £24.50 (RRP £35). The king sized set has also been reduced down from £40 to £28, while the super king set is now retailing for £31.50 in the sale (RRP £45). For those looking for something a bit more simplistic in its design, Dunelm has also reduced the price of the green edition of the Kersey Embroidery Duvet Cover & Pillowcase Set. With prices now starting at £15.40 instead of £22 for a single, this bedding set features a crisp white duvet with a charming leaf embroidery. Alternatively, M&S is selling their Cotton Blend Striped Bedding Set in a double for £20. Currently available in pink or neutral colourway, this bedding provides a clean and modern look with its bold pinstripes design. With StayNew technology, this set should still look and feel fresh wash after wash. Back to the Edie Duvet Set, it currently has a 4.4 star rating from Dunelm shoppers, with many reviewers praising the set for its 'luxurious' feel and 'premium' quality. One delighted shopper said: "Absolutely in love with this bedding in green! It feels so luxurious and looks way more expensive than it was. The quilting isn't too much so doesn't get too hot underneath and has a slight weight to it which feels so good when you're sleeping. Definitely recommend." With another customer commenting: "If there was a 4.5 score then this is what I would give this duvet cover and pillowcases. It feels really expensive with the quilted design and soft material. However, they did go on to add: "The downside is that the Super King Size cover is far too big for a super king size duvet. I have had to shorten the cover by sewing the top edge by about 15cm. But other than this it's lovely." Another shopper also grumbled: "This duvet cover is huge, very oversized, a proper workout when it comes to putting the duvet in. The underside fabric is not cotton which prevents it from getting a nice tidy finish." Despite this, a five-star reviewer praised: "This is amazing bedding. Utterly soft and warm. I sleep so well under these cosy duvet covers." While a fifth shopper added: "The bedding set is lovely, very soft and smooth, almost silky to the touch, easy to put the duvet inside also, very premium product for the price."
