Greggs to Open First Overseas Shop at Tenerife South Airport This Month

The one‑store trial uses a travel‑retail partner to test demand from heavy UK holiday traffic outside Greggs’ 2,759‑site home market.

Overview

  • Greggs, which issued a trading update Tuesday, confirmed a single international outlet will open in Tenerife South Airport’s departures later in May.
  • The Lagardère‑run shop will serve core bakes plus local items such as a Spanish omelette roll and fresh orange juice, seat up to 92, and tap an airport with about 13 million passengers and roughly half on UK routes.
  • The company has not set an exact opening date, with expectations of opening before the end of May.
  • In Tuesday’s update, Greggs reported about £800 million in year‑to‑date sales, like‑for‑like growth of 2.5% over 19 weeks, and kept a target of roughly 120 net UK openings in 2026 for an estate now at 2,759 shops.
  • Greggs raised breakfast and lunch meal‑deal prices by 10p last week and warned a prolonged Middle East conflict could lift food and energy costs through late 2026 into 2027.
