Greggs: offering its services on the forecourt

Bakery chain Greggs has partnered with the independent forecourt retailer, Euro Garages, to open its first outlet at a UK service station. The move follows Greggs' recent strategy of targeting commercial customers by opening stores on retail estates. The chain's highly price-competitive offer and consumers' increased tendency to eat on the move places the retailer in good stead for success.

Greggs benefiting from increasing resonance among a widening range of consumers

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.

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.
