Greggs has confirmed plans to open at least 12 bakeries in Northern Ireland this year, with the first on Boucher Road in Belfast.
The bakery chain will be creating 12 jobs at the new company-managed outlet on Boucher Road Retail Park, with the opening planned for March.
The company opened its first store on Northern Ireland at the Applegreen service station on the M2 in April last year, and has stated it has plans for 50 sites in total.
Greggs is the UK's largest bakery chain with 1,670 stores.
