Greggs opens 49 new shops with sales of chicken goujons soaring

Greggs has said it has a “good” start to 2022 after launching 49 new shops in the first 19 weeks of the year.

The sausage roll seller said its sales had increased 27.4 per cent compared to the same time last, from £378m in the first 19 weeks of 2021 to £495m this year.

The Newcastle headquartered firm said sales had begun to recover from the impacts of the pandemic, as it said its chicken goujons and potato wedges have proven particularly popular.
