Bakery chain Greggs is aiming to open 150 new stores in the UK after seeing its sales jump by 23% to £1.5billion last year

In 2022, Greggs opened 186 new shops and closed 39, taking its total in the UK to 2,328. This year, the chain is planning to add a further 150 shops as well as relocate 40 shops to larger sites and trial 24 hour drive-thrus at some branches.

After releasing their financial results for 2022, the company says there is now a “clear opportunity” to grow the number to over 3,000 in the coming years. Greggs has also extended the opening hours of around 500 of its stores to 8pm or later.
