Greggs Reports 10.6% Sales Increase in Q3 Amid Autumn Menu Launch

The bakery chain's new seasonal offerings and store expansions drive growth despite economic uncertainty.

Greggs' total sales rose by 10.6% in the third quarter of 2024, with September being the strongest month.
The introduction of autumn menu items, including a pumpkin spice doughnut and new lattes, contributed to the sales boost.
The company opened over 150 new shops this year, with a total of nearly 2,560 stores by the end of September.
Cost inflation is expected to be at the lower end of the 4% to 5% range due to hedged energy costs and forward buying of food.
Greggs plans to continue its expansion, aiming to open 140 to 160 net new shops in 2024, including new drive-thru locations.
