Food-to-go retailer Greggs has reported a rise in sales as “better trading conditions” in the last 11 weeks have supported growth.
Total sales were up 7.4% to £784m in the first 20 weeks of 2025, compared to £730m in 2024.
Like-for-like sales also grew 29% with an improved performance in the last 11 weeks, and the group “remain confident” in achieving 140-150 net openings for the full year.
Greggs said product innovation is helping growth, as its over-ice drinks, pizza boxes and hot food options are all performing well, and enhancements have been made to its classic product ranges.
As of May 17, 2,638 Greggs shops are trading and the construction of its new frozen product manufacturing and logistics site in Derby and national distribution centre in Kettering are expected to be operational in 2026 and 2027 respectively.
The group said the improved sales performance arrived in a continued “challenging market context” in a period that compares to its strongest performance in 2024.
There is no change to the outlook on cost inflation or expectations for the full year.
