GREGGS chief executive has revealed plans to open 150 new stores across the UK in 2023 are on track.
The high street food retailer, known for its sausage rolls, revealed earlier this year it planned on opening 150 new stores in Cornwall and other areas where it currently has fewer sites.
Greggs currently runs around 2300 shops across the UK, but said it hopes to expand to more than 3000 as part of its long-term growth strategy.
The company said it expects to open 150 new stores this year, but could accelerate the plans if more sites become available.
Roisin Currie, who was appointed as Greggs chief executive last year, told the PA news agency she was pleased with the group’s progress when it came to opening new sites.
Currie said: “The opening strategy is going to plan and the new location in Cornwall is a key part of that.
“Obviously we are a brand that started from the North and the natural growth of the business from there means there are some parts of the country, such as in Cornwall and the South West, where we see more scope to open sites.”

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
