Hortons’ Estate delivers Greggs store at retail park

Work has completed on the construction of a Greggs outlet at the multimillion-pound Cannock Gateway Retail Park development.

Greggs has signed a ten-year lease agreement with Birmingham-based property company Hortons’ Estate for the 1,250 sq ft building, which is located off Churchbridge Island, adjacent to the M6 Toll Road.

The store is expected to open later this month and has created 12 jobs.

The development was built by contractor Amphion Construction.

Roisin Currie, retail and people director for Greggs, said: “We’re delighted to be able to invest in Cannock, bringing new jobs to the area and providing both new and existing customers with a modern and convenient new shop.”

Steve Tommy, head of asset management at Hortons’, said: “We’re very pleased to have completed the construction of this new building and are delighted to welcome Greggs to our impressive line-up of brands at Cannock Gateway Retail Park. This development has been a huge success since opening five years ago and continues to offer the residents of Cannock a high-quality retail and leisure experience that supports the local economy.”

Simon Smith of Wright Silverwood acted on behalf of Greggs.
