Greggs vending machines set to be launched in UK

Game changer

Greggs is known for its innovation - from the vegan sausage roll to its recent launch of a matcha range, the bakery is pretty iconic.

However, its latest move might be its best yet.

The chain is due to launch vending machines, following the success of its recent 'bitesize shops' launch.

These 'bitesize shops' are smaller stores which offer a reduced range of Greggs delights.

The team at Greggs said they are looking to move into ‘unattended retail solutions’. In other words, vending machines.

The CFO of Greggs, Richard Hutton, confirmed the move, saying “both automated and manual vending solutions.”

It's yet to be revealed where the vending machines will be, but the CFO said there is “significant growth opportunity in underrepresented catchments" with the vending solutions.

However, he did say that we can expect to see these 'very shortly'.
