The high street bakery chain announced that it had opened 20 new UK stores in the first half of its financial year.

Over the same period, like-for-like sales rose by over 2.9%, going up from 1.7% in the first nine weeks. Greggs says the rise in sales is due to its expanded menu. Alongside this, the group has also embraced longer opening hours into the evening, increased delivery sales through Just Eat and Uber Eats, and launched the Greggs App. Over the last few months, Greggs has added mac and cheese, chicken burgers and fish finger sandwiches to its menus. For its summer menu, the bakery chain added a new Korean Crispy Chicken Burger, a Korean BBQ Chicken Wrap and flatbread, Red Pepper, Feta & Spinach Bake, and a new Cheese and Onion Roll - to name just a few. Greggs is also set to open more of its outlet stores over the coming few months. . Greggs Outlet sells surplus food including sausage rolls and bakes at super cheap prices.

You would normally pay around £4.35 for a four-pack of sausage rolls in a regular Greggs store. Greggs currently has 38 outlet stores.

The bakery chain has been forced to put sandwiches and bottled drinks behind counters in some stores to stop shoplifters. These items are normally found at the front of shops in self-service fridges. According to reports, around five Greggs branches had to do this, due to the level of theft seen in these sites. One of these includes Greggs in Whitechapel, East London. Other stores have had screens installed at the counter or have introduced full-time security guards. In a statement on the moves, Greggs said: "This is one of a number of initiatives we are trialling across a handful of shops which are exposed to higher levels of anti-social behaviour. Safety of our colleagues and customers remains our number one priority.'
