Gatwick arrival: Greggs

London Gatwick Airport is set to welcome its first Greggs store this summer, with the leading food-on-the-go retailer landing at South Terminal arrivals.

Opening this summer, it will be the first Greggs store at a London airport, providing passengers, staff and commuters with a range of products including the chain’s famous Sausage Roll, Vegan Sausage Roll and Steak Bake.

Customers will also be able to purchase a variety of breakfast items, sandwiches, salads, sweet treats and Fairtrade coffee.

Pam McCarthy, Director of Retail, Gatwick Airport said

Greggs will be a fantastic addition to the South Terminal at Gatwick, providing arriving passengers with a great taste of Britain, or a warm ‘welcome home’.

Situated immediately opposite the arrivals gates, the store will also be ideally located for those using the newly refurbished Gatwick Airport train station to grab a coffee or quick breakfast on their way to work, and for those awaiting the return of loved ones from a trip abroad.

Greggs celebrated its 400th franchise shop opening in October 2022 and has an ambitious target to reach 3,000 shops in the UK.

Greggs Outlet shops are an initiative set up in 1972 to support socially deprived areas and to redistribute unsold food items. The 30th Greggs Outlet shop opened in London in December 2022.

Gillian Long, Retail Operations Director, Greggs said:

We’re excited to be opening a shop at Gatwick Airport’s South Terminal, bringing local jobs to the area as well as providing customers with a modern, convenient new place to experience their favourite Greggs food.

Greggs will be the first new food and beverage outlet to open at Gatwick Airport in 2023. Other food outlets available at the airport include Cafe Nero, Costa, Itsu, Nando’s, Pret a Manger, Shake Shake, Starbucks, Wagamama and many more.
