Where's Greggs Headed to Next?
First Northern Ireland outlet announced.
Greggs has just announced that they will be trialling their first Northern Ireland store, in Belfast. Destined as a trial site, to run for an inital 12 month period, the move is much anticipated, and comes as the bakery chain posted strong 2014 results, with sales of £804 mill, up 5.5% on the prior year.
Speaking of the Northern Ireland opening, a Greggs spokesperson said "Greggs are excited to be trialling a test site with the Irish motorway service station operator Applegreen, at a service area located on the M2 in Belfast. The trial, which is due to start at the end of April and run for a 12 month period, will enable Greggs to assess Northern Ireland’s appetite for its `Always Fresh. Always Tasty.’ customer offer".
