Sandwich sellers are seeing customer numbers return, but hybrid working means some remain quiet.

Paul and Stephen Rothe's sandwich shop and deli has been in their family for 122 years

"We've got a long queue at lunchtime again," he says. "We're not far short of where we were in 2019." "Hybrid working is very much established now," says Ms Wehrle. "Sandwich shops, in particular in central London, are not going to have the trade they once had.", which tracks weekly store sales figures given to it by sandwich chain Pret A Manger for London, New York, Paris and Hong Kong.

The firm also shut another branch in the Leith area of the Scottish capital. It now has four outlets across the city, with three in more residential neighbourhoods, and therefore less affected by hybrid working. Kishon Warren, owner of two New York sandwich, fruit juice and coffee shops called BKLYN Blend, says it was support from the local community in Brooklyn that primarily helped his business through the pandemic.
