In an exciting move for pastry lovers across Britain, Greggs has announced plans to open two brand new shops inside Tesco superstores as part of a strategic expansion that brings the nation's favourite bakery closer to shoppers.
The new locations will see Greggs counter services established within Tesco Extra stores in Durham and Wolverhampton, creating a convenient one-stop-shop experience for customers wanting to pick up their grocery essentials alongside their beloved sausage rolls and sweet treats.
Strategic Partnership Growth
This development represents a significant step in Greggs' ongoing partnership with the supermarket giant, which has already seen successful collaborations in several Tesco locations including Milton Keynes and Manchester. The bakery chain appears to be strategically positioning itself within larger retail environments to capture more foot traffic and increase accessibility.
A Greggs spokesperson confirmed the expansion, stating: "We're always looking for new opportunities to bring Greggs to more customers across the UK. We can confirm we'll be opening two new shops within Tesco Extra stores in Durham and Wolverhampton later this year."
Convenience for Shoppers
The move represents a win for consumers who can now combine their supermarket shopping with access to Greggs' popular menu items including their iconic sausage rolls, steak bakes, vegan options, and sweet pastries without making separate trips.
This retail partnership model has proven successful for both companies, with Tesco benefiting from the additional footfall that the popular bakery attracts, while Greggs gains access to prime retail space and customer bases they might not otherwise reach through standalone stores.
What This Means for Customers
Shoppers in Durham and Wolverhampton can look forward to:
- Full Greggs menu availability including breakfast items
- Extended opening hours matching Tesco's schedule
- Convenient in-store bakery counters
- Access to seasonal specials and new product launches
- The ability to combine grocery and bakery shopping in one trip
The exact opening dates are yet to be confirmed, but construction is expected to begin shortly with both locations operational before the end of the year.
