Greggs, a leading UK food-on-the-go retailer, has opened a new Outlet shop in Swindon (78 Cricklade Road, SN2 8AF), creating eight new jobs and giving customers access to great-quality food at affordable prices.
Customers visiting the new Outlet in Swindon can expect a wide range of discounted Greggs favourites, including the Sausage Roll, Steak Bake, vegan alternatives and sweet treats. In addition to this, following strict quality and safety checks, Greggs has expanded the range of products available through its Outlets to include items such as pizza and cream cakes.
The opening marks the latest step in Greggs long-standing commitment to tackling food waste and building stronger communities through its nationwide Outlet initiative. First established in 1974, the scheme redistributes surplus food products, typically priced at around 50% less than in a standard Greggs shop, helping customers stretch household budgets while reducing waste.
Reducing food waste remains a key priority for Greggs. In 2024 alone, Outlet customers purchased 2.8 million sweet products, 2.7 million sandwiches and 2.4 million savoury items, representing a 17% increase on 2023, with 45% of surplus stock redistributed.
In line with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal to halve global food waste by 2030, Greggs expanding network of Outlet shops continues to make a meaningful contribution to reducing economic, social and environmental pressures in the UK and beyond. Alongside its Outlets, Greggs also works with food-saving app Too Good To Go and a number of local charity partners to ensure surplus food reaches those who need it most.
Brigitta Nagyne Steiner, shop manager said: “We can’t wait to open our doors to the Swindon community. Every purchase made here not only prevents good food from going to waste but also helps fund our community grant programme, supporting local organisations to deliver vital services.”
Roisin Currie, chief executive at Greggs said: “Our new Outlet shop in Swindon reaffirms the commitments set out in the Greggs Pledge to reduce waste and support communities. By selling surplus products at great value and reinvesting a portion of the profits through The Greggs Foundation, we can help families and local charities across the country.”
