Billboards have gone up confirming that a large new Greggs store will soon open at Manor Walks in Cramlington, Northumberland, generating excitement among pasty lovers. The move is particularly good news for shoppers at the shopping centre, where the new outlet will be located.
Details of the New Greggs
The unit where Greggs will open appears sizeable, suggesting there will be seating for customers to enjoy food and drinks on-site, in addition to takeaway service. Manor Walks announced the news via an Instagram post on Thursday, teasing 'something big is coming soon' before revealing Greggs signage featuring a giant sausage roll and the words: 'Roll on opening!'
Greggs, proud of its Newcastle roots, has become a global brand. Earlier this summer, the company announced a branch would open in Tenerife, a popular holiday destination for Britons. Greggs also operates across the UK, including a flagship store in London's Leicester Square and a new outlet on Pilgrim Street in Newcastle city centre.
Part of Wider Redevelopment
The new Greggs is part of broader plans to redevelop the Manor Walks Western Entrance. Earlier this week, the shopping centre held drop-in sessions for the public to view proposed plans and provide feedback. The proposals aim to improve the visitor experience, enhance the retail offer, create a new mall entrance, and establish a new Town Square for events and activities.
According to ChronicleLive, the new store is expected to open soon, with no exact date confirmed yet. Fans of the bakery chain in Northumberland can look forward to a convenient location for their favourite sausage rolls, pasties, and sweet treats.
