Greggs is the largest bakery chain in the UK, famed for its sausage rolls. Greggs has more than 2,500 locations across the UK and employs around 32,000 staff. The company also sells bakes, melts and pasties through the supermarket chain Iceland. Retail Week provides news, analysis, features and opinion about Greggs and the grocery sector.
Greggs has today announced that its long-term chief financial officer has decided to leave the food-to-go retailer after 28 years.
Amazon’s capex totalled $132bn in its last financial year. Put all of the spending of major UK retail businesses together, and you don’t come close to that.
After Greggs today announced it was packing its bags for Tenerife for the first time, its chief executive also discussed the ongoing Middle East conflict, price rises, and youth employment.
The British baker is set to open a branch in Tenerife South Airport in partnership with Lagardère Travel Retail.
Greggs has seen a slip in profit in its full year as the food-to-go retailer battled with a challenging market and low consumer sentiment.
