Greggs flies into Tenerife as store openings rise – Daily Business

Greggs continues to open stores

Fast food chain Greggs continues to open stores at a rapid rate, including its first at a foreign airport, despite concerns that its targets may be stretched.

It has partnered with global travel operator Lagardère Travel Retail at Tenerife South Airport, a destination for millions of UK and international passengers.

The company said the outlet “represents an excellent opportunity to test our offering in an international travel hub”.

It is increasingly offering healthier options alongside its traditional sausage rolls and steak bakes. It has enhanced its salad range with a mix of new and reformulated recipes.

Greggs reported total sales of £800 million for the first 19 weeks of 2026, a 7.5% increase, with like-for-like sales growing 2.5% year-to-date and improving to 3.3% in the last 10 weeks.

The company opened 41 shops, resulting in 2,759 trading locations, and continues to target around 120 net openings for the full year.

It anticipates good first-half profit progress, with the board’s full-year expectations unchanged.
