Greggs Trials 'Bitesize' Mini Stores After First Opens at Sevenoaks

The company is testing a compact format that keeps core items at full‑shop prices to gauge viability in tight, high‑footfall locations.

Overview

  • The first Bitesize Greggs is now trading at Sevenoaks Railway Station, creating 10 jobs and operating seven days a week.
  • Greggs has confirmed two further Bitesize openings in December at Dartford Station in Kent and at Cheshire Oaks.
  • The pared‑back menu focuses on best‑selling items such as sausage rolls, steak bakes, sweet treats and Fairtrade hot drinks.
  • Prices in Bitesize outlets match those in full‑size Greggs shops despite the smaller footprint and reduced range.
  • The trial will track customer response and operational efficiencies alongside Greggs’ wider expansion of roughly 120 new full‑size shops this year.
