Greggs upgrades profit expectations as sales jump

Greggs Bucks

Food-to-go specialist Greggs has upgraded its full-year outcome as both in-store and online sales jumped in the third quarter despite ongoing supply chain issues.

In its third quarter, Greggs reported that two-year like-for-like sales were up 3.5% â€œdespite staffing and supply chain disruption”; it added that sales through online delivery were â€œdeveloping well” and were now available from 943 stores. 

Sales in August were â€œparticularly strong” for Greggs, due to the â€œstaycation effect”, and remained positive throughout September with 3% growth on two-year like-for-like sales in the four weeks to October 2.
