High: all gravy for Greggs
In news that will please sausage roll fans, Greggs has announced major expansion plans as it looks to build on a successful 2022. Preliminary results revealed that sales at the popular bakery chain were up 23% last year, hitting a record high of £1.5bn.
Off the back of the positive financial figures, its CEO Roisin Currie revealed new targets to open 150 new branches a year, taking its total number of stores to more than 3,000 in the years ahead. As part of its plans, Greggs is also extending opening hours at a number of its bakeries and will begin trials of a 24-hour drive-thru.
