Overview

• The Old Hall Street branch on Liverpool’s city centre has been shuttered since Tuesday for reported maintenance and is expected to reopen Monday.
• Neither Greggs’ press team nor Liverpool City Council has offered an official reason for the sudden closure.
• Frustrated customers have been banging on the store’s doors and are being directed to 22 other branches across the city.
• The unannounced shutdown underscores gaps in corporate communication as Greggs manages routine store adjustments.
• The closure coincides with a broader year-to-date total of 87 new openings and 56 closures for Greggs, which has also warned that recent heatwaves have reduced in-store footfall.
