Greggs opens 600th franchise store
Greggs has opened a milestone 600th franchise shop in Stonecross Services in Bexwell in a partnership with Motor Fuel Group.
The move forms part of the food-to-go retailer’s estate expansion strategy where franchise partnerships play a central role in helping it to have stores in high-traffic and otherwise restricted locations. These include motorway service areas, petrol filling stations, train stations and smaller convenience destinations.
Through its partnership with MFG, Greggs now operates 147 shops across the MFG estate, primarily in petrol filling station and roadside locations.
Greggs currently works with 14 franchise partners across the UK and added 57 new franchised shops to its estate in 2025.
Subscribe to TRBTony Rowson, property director at Greggs, said: “Reaching 600 franchise shops is a milestone achievement for Greggs and our partners.
“It underlines the continued success of our franchise model and the vital role our partners play in accelerating the expansion of our estate.
“As we close out 2025, we remain committed to ensuring Greggs is available in more of the locations our customers want us most.”
