Greggs, the UK bakery chain, reported a 7.7% sales increase in Q3 2026 and expects a modestly better full-year result due to strong trading and new products. The company plans to close four manufacturing sites, resulting in about 740 job cuts over two and a half years, aiming to save £20 million annually in operating costs. Despite these closures, Greggs will open 100-110 new shops and expand its Greggs Express outlets in 2026. The restructuring will cost around £60 million upfront but is expected to improve efficiency by 2028-2029.
