A beloved institution on the Great British high street, Greggs is fast-becoming one of the UK’s most beloved brands known all over the country for its flaky pastries, cheap grub, and surprisingly decent hot drinks.
With the company able to trace its history back to the 1939, founder John Gregg opened his first Tyneside bakery is Gosforth in Newcastle in 1951, with the company going on to take Britain by storm.
Greggs now operates some 2,559 stores across the UK, employing over 32,000 people, with 50 of those outlets located in Lancashire alone.
