Launched in 1974, Outlet shops redistribute surplus food at a discount, with a share of profits given to local charities via The Greggs Foundation. A share of the profits from each Outlet shop is donated to Greggs dedicated charity, The Greggs Foundation. Reducing food waste is a key priority for Greggs and the Outlet shops are one of its flagship initiatives to support food redistribution across the UK. In addition to its growing network of Outlet shops, Greggs has partnered with food-saving app, Too Good To Go, alongside local charity partners, to further cut food waste and support its local communities. Roisin Currie, CEO at Greggs, said: “Opening our 40th Outlet shop in Edinburgh reaffirms our commitments set out in the Greggs Pledge to reduce waste and support communities.
