Good news because Greggs are testing out home deliveries in the UK

They’re also creating even more drive-throughs across the UK.

Great news for anyone that loves sausage rolls, steak bakes and every other pasty under the sun because Greggs have announced that they’re planning on introducing a nationwide drive-through service.

As you may remember, the Newcastle baker had recently launched their first drive-through service at Irlam, Greater Manchester.

Well, you can thank all those hungry Mancunians for the latest news because the company were so happy with that service that they plan on rolling it out across the UK.

Speaking with The Guardian, Greggs boss Roger Whiteside has said: “It’s all about convenience and the most convenient thing is not having to get out of your car. You can just drive up and order a coffee, sausage roll or doughnut.”

In keeping with the likes of McDonald’s and Costa Coffee, Greggs will now be looking to launch their “food-to-go” service and for any traditionalists out there, it appears that this new business model has proven to be a hit with customers.

In fact, Greggs customers have typically spent more at the drive-through than in a high street store.

Aside from this exciting news, they’ve also announced that they’re interested in studying the customer demand for a home delivery service.

Sausage rolls delivered to your door. Happy days!
