Roisin Currie, Chief Executive, commented: “Greggs delivered a resilient performance in 2025, growing market share, alongside continued strategic progress. Looking into 2026, easing inflationary pressures should provide some support to consumer spending and demand for convenient food-on-the-go continues to underpin the market. We remain focused on broadening access to Greggs with a strong pipeline of shop openings, exciting launches and deeper customer engagement via the Greggs App.

We have a clear formula for long-term success, leveraging our value leadership, vertical integration, breadth of range and strong track record of innovation. Together, these strengths give us a clear competitive advantage and position us well to deliver further sustainable growth.”
