Greggs

Greggs is a British food-on-the-go retailer that prepares and sells freshly prepared food through a nationwide estate of its own shops and through digital channels. Its offer spans breakfast, savoury bakes, sandwiches and salads, hot food, drinks, snacks and sweet treats, with an emphasis on value and friendly service. The company operates across the food retail, bakery and quick-service restaurant sectors, and its head office is in Gosforth, Newcastle.

The business runs on an integrated model, operating its own supply chain that links manufacturing and logistics to its shops across the UK. Alongside the physical shop estate, Greggs serves customers through Click + Collect, an order-ahead service, and Delivery, carried out via delivery partners, as well as the Greggs App, which offers rewards and other features. Its technical work covers mobile app development, digital ordering and e-commerce, supply chain and logistics systems, and manufacturing operations.

Greggs traces its origins to John Gregg, who delivered fresh eggs and yeast by pushbike to families in Newcastle. Community activity sits alongside the retail business: the Greggs Foundation runs a breakfast programme providing free breakfasts to primary school children, and the company supports charitable work including the Children's Cancer Run.
