Greggs creates four new jobs as it opens a new and improved Jesmond shop

North East-based bakery chain Greggs officially opened its new and improved shop in Jesmond over the weekend - creating four new jobs in the process.

Having been previously located at 34 Acorn Road, the Greggs shop has now relocated to a larger unit at 4 Acorn Road.

The new and improved shop will be stocked with all of Greggs’ iconic products such as the Sausage Roll, Steak Bake, Chicken Bake and its range of vegan alternatives.

The Jesmond store will also be serving a range of “over ice drinks” such as Cloudy Lemonade and an Iced Mocha, which are only available in a limited number of Greggs shops across the country.

Lucy McGivena, the shop’s manager, has given customers an insight into what they can expect from the brand new shop.

She 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.”

The relocation and opening of the new and improved shop means that the bakery chain has created four new jobs in the North East.
