Read our privacy policy Greggs, the bakery and fast food chain, has warned that rising cost pressures could see the prices of some of its products go up for the second time this year. The share price hit came despite Greggs swinging back to a pre-tax profit of nearly £146m in the year to 1 January, from its first-ever loss, of £13.7m, in 2020. And despite rising cost pressures, Greggs plans to open 150 new shops every year, eventually taking the total from 2,181 to 3,000 in the UK. More shops may have meant more sausage roll sales, but a lack of like-for-like growth is now a concern.” He added: “With the wow factor of its vegan offerings now a distant memory, Greggs needs to provide more innovative and broad meal and drink choices, our experts say.” The Independent has a proud history of campaigning for the rights of the most vulnerable, and we first ran our Refugees Welcome campaign during the war in Syria in 2015.
