Greggs has had a difficult start to 2012, with like-for-like sales hit by bad weather and weak consumer spending. The retailer is pinning its hopes on the Olympics and the Jubilee, but faces controversial legislation set to add VAT to many of its goods. Rather than opposing the proposed tax, it would be wise to plan how it will phase in the inevitable price increases over the coming months.

UK foodservice operator Greggs has benefited from its continued aggressive space expansion during the 12 months to January 1, 2011. Despite like-for-like growth of just 0.2%, total sales increased by 0.6% off the back of a net 68 new retail outlets. Datamonitor believes that Greggs is well positioned to continue to take advantage of emerging value, convenience, and health trends.

The launch came days after Woolworths announced it would clearly label its range of Tasmanian produce. Supermarkets are increasingly tapping into the 'local' trend, driven by consumers' desire to support and feel part of their community.

While the UK government's move to increase VAT to 20% in January 2011 will reduce volumes and add to inflationary pressures in retail, the effect will be minimal given that consumer spending habits are already changing, with shoppers being more cautious and value-conscious. As retailers pre-empt the VAT increase to prepare shoppers, Verdict expects to see prices rise in the latter half of 2010.
