Greggs reopens its Newcastle International Airport branch following major refurbishment
Greggs has officially reopened its branch at Newcastle International Airport.
The North East-based bakery chain has confirmed that its branch at the airport has reopened with a fresh new look and a number of new menu items following major refurbishment works.
Greggs, which is open 24/7 at Newcastle International Airport’s check-in area, has had a complete makeover to help improve the customer experience ahead of what is expected to be a busy winter season for the airport.
New menu items now include chicken burgers, fish finger sandwiches and hot wraps.
The new hot food is being served alongside a range of over-ice drinks that include the ice salted caramel latte, strawberry lemonade and a mango and strawberry cooler.
Dean Ward, director of commercial at Newcastle Airport, has welcomed Greggs’ new and improved look at the region’s largest airport.
He said: “We are delighted Greggs has reopened its store at Newcastle Airport following a major refurbishment.
“Greggs has always been a valued part of the Airport experience and we are confident the new and improved menu, paired with the shop’s fresh new look, will be hugely popular with our customers.”
Gillian Long, retail operations director at Greggs, has stated that the bakery chain is looking forward to serving airport customers once again.
She added: “We’re excited to be welcoming customers to our new and improved shop at Newcastle Airport.
“We look forward to providing customers with a modern, convenient new place to experience their Greggs favourites.”
Newcastle International Airport and its business partners are investing £20million into the terminal and infrastructure this winter.
This includes a £17million project to resurface the runway, with a further £3milllion being spent on improving the departure lounge experience and retail outlets.
