Greggs has toasted higher sales this year after broadening its menuIced drinks and a bigger range of salads has helped Greggs boost sales in the heatwave and reel in health-conscious consumers, as it continues its expansion across the UK. Stripping out the impact of the new shops, sales at company-managed shops were 2.1% higher compared with the same ones last year, and 1.3% higher at franchised shops. Cold and healthier items on the menu have also helped Greggs avoid a drop in sales from people avoiding hot food during the recent heatwaves. Roisin Currie, Greggs’ chief executive, told the Press Association: “You do see that when temperatures get above 30 degrees that people start to eat less. She said Greggs was focused on “keeping it exciting for customers” with new products like a blueberry matcha iced latte within the drinks range that was appealing particularly to younger consumers.
