Euro Garages helps Greggs celebrate milestone

FOOD-on-the-go retailer Greggs has entered into a new partnership with Lancashire-based Euro Garages as it opens the doors of its 100th franchise.

The new Greggs shop is on the Euro Garages forecourt in Shinfield, Berkshire, where 10 jobs will be created.

In addition to 51 franchised shops across the country with Euro Garages, Greggs also has franchise partnerships with Moto, Wightlink, Blakemore, Applegreen UK and Northern Ireland, Compass and Sandpiper.

Martin Kibler, Property Director for Greggs, said: “To reach the 100th store milestone is a real achievement for both Greggs and our franchise partners. Our work in the franchise sector is integral to our business as it enables us to extend the Greggs offer to previously inaccessible locations, particularly transport hubs.”

Ilyas Munshi, commercial director for Euro Garages, said: “We are proud of our strategic partnership with Greggs. The brand has proved to be popular with our forecourt customers and people with busy lifestyles in search of a convenient retail destination, where they can satisfy their multiple shopper missions.”
