A NEW Greggs store will open in Warrington on Friday - on the former Fordton Leisure Centre site on Winwick Road.

The store, which Greggs says will feature a menu including the 'iconic sausage roll' has created nine jobs.

Seating will be available for customers who wish to eat in-store.

The menu also features full-size takeaway pizzas.

Melanie Hallsworth, shop manager, said: “I am very proud to be managing this new shop and look forward to welcoming people through the doors to enjoy Greggs’ favourites, as well as trying our new product ranges.

"We aim to offer our customers quality and freshness at great value prices, and we are keen to hear what the local community think of our new shop.”

Raymond Reynolds, retail director for Greggs, said: “We are really pleased to invest in Warrington with a new shop, creating new jobs and helping to support the local economy.

"Having listened to our customers we recognise the demands of the modern retail environment are changing, so we continue to enhance what Greggs has to offer through differentiation and by focusing on the food-on-the-go market.”
