Food retailer Greggs reported a 6.1% rise in total sales for the 13 weeks to 27 September 2025, while company-managed like-for-like sales grew by 1.5%.
On a year-over-year basis, total sales were up 6.7%, with like-for-like sales increasing by 2.2%.
The strong performance was supported by the launch of its autumn menu and a recovery in trading during August and September, following a slowdown in July caused by the heatwave.
Greggs also broadened its product range and expanded the availability of its ‘Bake At Home’ line, developed in partnership with Tesco. The range is now stocked in 930 Iceland stores and 820 Tesco outlets.
So far this year, Greggs has opened 130 new stores while closing 73. Looking ahead, the food-to-go retailer plans to continue investing in its estate, with around 120 new store openings expected in 2025.
The company also noted an improved outlook on cost inflation for 2025, while maintaining its expectations for full-year results.
Greggs stated that it achieved strong quarterly results despite “challenging market conditions,” thanks to its ongoing estate expansion and a diverse product offering for customers.
