Greggs has opened a new shop today in Swansea, creating 10 new jobs for the area.

The shop will stock freshly prepared Greggs favourites, such as the on-the-go-retailer’s popular Sausage Roll, Steak Bake and delicious vegan alternatives, in addition to a range of over ice drinks including Cloudy Lemonade and Iced Mocha, which are only available in limited shops across the UK.

Customers can also take advantage of Greggs’ deals throughout the day, including its famed breakfast combinations, offering a breakfast roll or baguette alongside a Fairtrade orange juice or hot drink – served until 11am every day.

The new Swansea Greggs shop will also stock its much-loved Sweet Mince Pies which have returned to shops nationwide. Halloween has also officially arrived at Greggs, with the addition of new spooky (but sweet) menu items, including the Pumpkin Biscuit and the Spooky Bun.

Those looking to raise the festive and Halloween feels will be able to enjoy one of Greggs’ hot drink offerings alongside the purchase of a single Sweet Mince Pie, Pumpkin Biscuit or Spooky Bun as part of the Sweet and Hot Drink Deal. Starting from £2.85, Greggs fans can pair one of the sweet menu items with a hot drink, including the famous Pumpkin Spice Latte and Salted Caramel Latte, as well as the Orange Mocha and Orange Hot Chocolate. The new menu is available now in stores nationwide, and through the Greggs App and on Just Eat and UberEATS.

Those looking for a bite to eat in the evening can enjoy hot food such as Southern Fried Chicken Goujons, Potato Wedges and a variety of pizza slices including Margherita, Pepperoni, Spicy Mexican Chicken, Spicy Veg and Pepperoni Hot Shot. After 4pm, customers can pick up any pizza slice with any drink from just £2.85 instead of the usual £3.50 – now that’s more tasty for your money!

Customers looking to skip the queues and grab a quick bite on the go can order through Click + Collect via the Greggs App. The Greggs App is free to download and gives access to a variety of tasty rewards. For every 9 purchases in different categories – from hot drinks, to sandwiches, to bakes to sweet treats – app users can get one completely free. New users of the Greggs App also receive a free hot drink of their choice upon registration, as well as a free sweet treat to celebrate their birthday each year.

The Swansea shop opens with a modern new look and comfortable indoor and outdoor seating. The opening hours are:

  • Monday – Saturday: 6am- 6pm
  • Sunday: 6:30am – 6pm

Shop Manager, Laura Crocoombe Gooch, said: “We can’t wait to welcome both Greggs fans and new customers to our brand-new shop. We’ve got an amazing range of iconic savouries, Fairtrade hot drinks, hot food and healthier choices available for takeaway, sit-in or Click + Collect.”

Gillian Long, Retail Operations Director for Greggs, said: “Our new shop in Swansea has brought 10 new jobs to the local area, as well as providing customers with a modern, convenient new place to experience their Greggs favourites.”
