Sausage rolls in the sun as Greggs opens first shop in Spain

  • Greggs is set to open its first international outlet in Tenerife South airport later this month, marking its return to overseas operations since a Belgian venture in 2008.
  • Located in the international departures area, the new shop will offer a familiar range of bakes, rolls, sweet treats, and freshly-made sandwiches, alongside a Spanish Omelette Roll and freshly squeezed orange juice to cater to local tastes.
  • The move targets the significant number of British holidaymakers among the 13 million annual passengers at Tenerife South, with approximately half travelling to and from the UK.
  • Greggs chief executive Roisin Currie stated that Tenerife South Airport is an 'ideal location to test spreading our wings in an overseas setting' due to its high volume of UK and international passengers.
  • The new shop will operate in partnership with Lagardere Travel Retail, which manages over 5,000 stores globally, aiming to provide a familiar and comforting choice for passengers.
