Greggs

This Greggs is always ALWAYS busy and at lunchtime the queue goes out the door. I know that it’s a common thing for most Greggs shops but considering there are two on this street alone it seems odd that one of them is usually quite empty and the other is always full.
I think it has something to do with the bigger selection here, there is a variety of pasties that just doesn’t exist in the little shop down the road. When I’m feeling worse for wear, I need to get my cheese and onion fix and this is where I get it.

This is a ‘cut price’ Greggs. Anything that isn’t sold on the day in other branches of Greggs in the region is brought to this store to sell the following day. The prices are really cheap as they need to sell the goods before they become completely inedible. There are many families on very low incomes in this area so the shop is very popular. Day old bread and cakes may be slightly stale, but they still fill hungry stomachs. This is the only Greggs that I’ve come across that does this, but maybe as the recession bites, other cut-​price branches will open elsewhere. For the best buys here, it is best to come early, as the goods are collected from the other stores overnight and then brought to this store first thing.
