A new enlarged Greggs has opened in St George’s Shopping Centre.

The bakery chain has a ‘modern new look’ and new indoor and outdoor seating for its new unit which is on the ground floor of the shopping centre near the rotunda.

Shop Manager Jamie Phillipson said: “We can’t wait to welcome both Greggs fans and new customers to our brand-new shop.

“We’ve got an amazing range of iconic savouries, Fairtrade hot drinks, hot food and healthier choices available for takeaway, sit-in or Click + Collect.”

Six new jobs have been created as part of the expanded Greggs – as it shifts from the former smaller outlet on the first floor.

Gillian Long, Retail Operations Director for Greggs, said: “We’re excited to be welcoming customers to our new and improved shop in Preston, with six new members joining the existing team. We look forward to providing customers with a modern, convenient new place to experience their Greggs favourites.”

The store’s opening hours are 8am to 6pm Monday to Saturday and 10am to 5pm on Sundays.
