The bakery chain's outlet stores sell off unsold stock at much cheaper prices
Greggs fans have welcomed the arrival of a new outlet store selling its favourite bakery items for a fraction of the usual price.Previous outlet stores, including one opposite Oldham's Tommyfield Market, have been a huge success, mostly because the majority of the products are less than half the price you'd usually pay.
The stores help to tackle food waste by receiving items that haven't sold in other shops at the end of the day to sell on at a discount.They stock menu items including savoury pasties and sweet treats and sell them at a significantly reduced rate, which Greggs says is welcomed by customers on a 'tight budget'.
Prices at the Oldham store included four donuts for £1, two Steak Bakes for £1.40 and four sausage rolls for £1.70.Responding to a post on a local Facebook page, one said: "This is the best thing to happen to the Height in a while," while another tagged a friend and said: "I think all your dreams may have come true."
A portion of the profit generated from Greggs Outlets is donated to the Greggs Foundation, which is then shared between organisations such as soup kitchens, food banks, and community groups, putting money back into local community organisations that are working to tackle food poverty in areas of greatest need.
