BAKERY chain Greggs has launched a new larger shop on a high street.
A new modern-look premises has been opened on Higher Parr Street, in Fingerpost, today, Friday, August 30.
Previously located at 111 Higher Parr Street, the bakery has relocated to a larger unit at 99 Higher Parr Street.
The Star reported earlier this year after the bakery chain had submitted a planning application for the former Coral bookmakers unit.
The new shop will stock freshly prepared Greggs favourites, such as the on-the-go-retailer’s popular Sausage Roll, Steak Bake and vegan alternatives, in addition to a range of over-ice drinks including Cloudy Lemonade and Iced Mocha.
Customers can also take advantage of Greggs’ deals throughout the day, and in the evening can enjoy hot food such as Southern Fried Chicken Goujons, Potato Wedges and a variety of pizza slices including Margherita Pepperoni, Spicy Mexican Chicken, Spicy Veg and Pepperoni Hot Shot, with a reduced price for any pizza slice with any drink after 4pm.

Customers looking to skip the queues and grab a quick bite on the go can order through Click + Collect via the Greggs App, and for every nine purchases in different categories, app users can get one free. New users of the app also receive a free hot drink of their choice upon registration, as well as a free sweet treat to celebrate their birthday each year.
The new store has created four jobs, Greggs has said.
The Higher Parr Street shop's opening hours are:
- Monday to Saturday: 6:30am to 7pm
- Sunday: 8am to 5pm
Shop manager Sam Glover Neely said: “We can’t wait to welcome both Greggs fans and new customers to our new shop.
"We’ve got an amazing range of iconic savouries, Fairtrade hot drinks, hot food and healthier choices available for takeaway, sit-in or Click + Collect.”
Gillian Long, retail operations Director for Greggs, added: “We’re excited to be welcoming customers to our new and improved shop in St Helens, with four new members joining the existing team.
"We look forward to providing customers with a modern, convenient new place to experience their Greggs favourites.”
Any further jobs created at the St Helens shop will be posted on the Greggs website.
