Greggs opens first supermarket Bitesize shop in Tesco
We've reached another milestone in the rollout of our Bitesize Greggs format with the opening of our first supermarket location at Tesco Southwark Superstore.
Designed for smaller, high-footfall locations where space is limited, our Bitesize format brings a tailored range of Greggs favourites to more customers while maintaining the quality, value and convenience they're familiar with.
The new shop, located within Tesco Southwark Superstore, gives customers convenient access to a selection of Greggs products including our iconic Sausage Rolls, Steak Bakes, Sweet Treats and Fairtrade hot drinks. Open seven days a week, the shop has also created 10 new jobs in the local area.
The opening is the latest step in the expansion of our Bitesize format, following successful launches at London Bridge Station, Sevenoaks Railway Station, Dartford Station and Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet.
While our traditional shops continue to play an important role in our estate, the Bitesize format allows us to serve customers in locations where a full-sized Greggs may not be possible. Together, these formats support our ambition to bring Greggs to more communities and make our products even more accessible across the UK.
As part of our ongoing growth plans, we expect to open around 100 to 110 net new shops in 2026 and continue to see a long-term opportunity for at least 3,500 shops across the UK, supported by continued investment in our supply chain network.
Tony Rowson, Property Director at Greggs, said:
"We're delighted to open our first Bitesize Greggs within a supermarket at Tesco Southwark Superstore. The Bitesize format is an important part of our growth strategy, helping us bring Greggs to more customers in convenient locations where space may be limited. This opening demonstrates how we're continuing to evolve our estate and explore new opportunities to make Greggs more accessible across the UK."
Liam Wagstaff, Retail Partnership Manager at Tesco, said:
"We’re always looking for ways to make the shopping trip even more convenient for our customers, and we're pleased to welcome the first supermarket 'Bitesize Greggs' at our Southwark Superstore. Now customers can pick up all their Greggs favourites while popping in to do their weekly shop, offering even greater convenience.”
