Overview
- A customer's Instagram video from a London outlet called the visit "one of the best days of her life," drawing fresh attention to the scheme.
- Posted examples showed four cookies for £1.55, four glazed doughnuts for 80p, sausage rolls at £2.20 for four with a buy-one-get-one-free offer, sandwiches for 80p, two pizzas for £1.20, two Steak Bakes for £1.75 and a southern fried chicken baguette for £1.85.
- Greggs says outlets sell surplus stock at around 50% of recommended retail price and are placed in higher-deprivation areas to reduce waste and help stretched budgets.
- The company now operates roughly 50 outlets nationwide, with sites in cities including London, Glasgow, Newcastle, Leeds, Manchester, Birmingham, Cardiff, Southampton and Bristol, and a new "Bitesize" unit opened at Sevenoaks station in January 2026.
- A share of profits from each outlet goes to local charities through The Greggs Foundation, which reported awarding over £1.85 million in community grants last year.
