About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one autumn morning, as Greggs bakery was opening its doors, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar wafting from inside. The familiar scent of fresh pastries was joined by an unexpected aroma—a hint of maple syrup mixed with freshly baked bread. Curious, he peered inside and saw nothing unusual—just a friendly baker humming to himself while arranging croissants. But then, from behind the counter, emerged a small furry creature licking its lips contentedly. It turned out to be Greggs’ new mascot: a mischievous squirrel named Nutty, who had snuck in for an early breakfast.

2. At dawn, when most bakeries were still quiet, an early bird arrived at Greggs. As he entered, the aroma of freshly baked pastries filled the air, but something unusual caught his eye—a loaf of bread with intricate carving that read ‘Open for business.’ Curious, he picked it up and noticed a note attached: 'Try our new wholemeal ciabatta—free today!' A delivery driver overheard him laughing and asked if everything was okay. With a smile, our early bird replied, 'Just found out Greggs has sense of humour!'

3. In the small town of Bakersfield, everyone knows Greggs Bakery for their irresistible pastries. But one day, a curious customer asked: 'Why does the same old lady always leave with a bag full of doughnuts before sunrise?' It turned out that she was simply helping herself to an early-morning treat—she worked as a night shift nurse and used the donuts as her secret energy boost! The whole town laughed it off, and now, whenever someone sees her leaving with a bag, they just smile and wave.

4. One foggy morning, just after Greggs opened its doors, a regular asked curiously: ‘Why does that same old lady always come in wearing a paper bag on her head?’ The baker smiled and whispered, 'She's our secret customer—we give her free pasties every Wednesday.' The regular nodded knowingly, thinking it was just another quirky Greggs tradition.
