LONDON (UK) – Britain’s food-to-go retailer Greggs sales at its company-managed outlets stood at 72% of the 2019 level last week, showing signs of recovery from the lockdown.
Roger Whiteside, CEO of Greggs, known for its sausage rolls, bakes and sandwiches, said it had made a great start to 2020 before the pandemic hit, forcing it to close its more than 2,000 stores for most of Q-2.
Greggs said most of its stores had re-opened by July, offering a limited range of its best-selling fare.
“Greggs is now well prepared to deal with the challenges of social distancing and operate through the conditions we are faced with,” Whiteside said on Tuesday.
