cost of ingredients for Gregg's pasties and pies has been going up, along with its energy bills and staff wages.
As well as opening 150 new shops, Greggs said it would refurbish another 150 and relocate 40 of its shops to larger sites. Greggs was first founded by John Gregg in the late 1930s when he began delivering yeast, eggs and confectionery on his bicycle to homes around mining terraces in Newcastle. "With the best will in the world and even when household budgets are under real pressure sometimes people are just too busy to make sandwiches. There is always going to be a place for food-on-the-go venues and Greggs' offering is perfectly pitched in the current environment," he added.
