Greggs fans were past-y themselves with excitement on Monday as the chain opened a new store, after relocating.

The popular brand opened the doors on its new Stockton branch on Monday (March 13) morning with a new look and seating, replacing the previous store in Wellington Square.

Fans of the Newcastle-based brand will be able to get their hands on favourites including sausage rolls and steak beaks at the new site, also on Wellington Square.

The relocation promises a ‘fresh new look’, has inside seating, and has created three extra jobs.

Gillian Long, Retail Operations Director for Greggs, added: “Our new shop in Stockton’s Wellington Square has brought three new jobs to the local area, as well as providing customers with a modern, convenient new place to experience their favourite Greggs food.”

The store, which will be open from 7am til 7pm from Monday to Saturday, and from 8am til 6pm on Sundays, also offers click-and-collect orders via the Greggs app.
