Greggs continues to expand across Northern Ireland with new Antrim shop
Monday 12th May 2025 – Greggs has opened its latest shop at The Junction Retail & Leisure Park in Antrim, creating 14 new jobs as the food-on-the-go retailer continues its growth plans across Northern Ireland.
The opening is part of Greggs wider expansion strategy in the region, with five new shops launched since January. These include new shops on Lisburn Road and York Street in Belfast, a drive thru in Marlborough Retail Park in Craigavon and a shop in Foyleside Shopping Centre.
Customers visiting the new shop can enjoy freshly prepared Greggs favourites, such as the Sausage Roll, Steak Bake and delicious vegan alternatives, in addition to a range of over ice drinks including Cloudy Lemonade and Iced Latte, which are only available in limited shops across the UK.
Breakfast will be served until 11am daily where customers can take advantage of Greggs breakfast deals, offering a breakfast roll or baguette alongside a Fairtrade orange juice or hot drink. Those looking for a bite to eat 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 the Pepperoni Hot Shot. From 4pm, customers can enjoy any pizza slice with a drink for just £3.15 instead of the usual £4.00.
Customers looking to skip the queues and grab a quick bite on the go can order through Click + Collect via the free Greggs App. For every 9 purchases in different categories – from hot drinks, to sandwiches, to bakes to sweet treats – app users can get one completely free. New users also receive a complimentary hot drink upon registration, as well as a free sweet treat on their birthday
The shop opens with a modern new look and comfortable indoor and outdoor seating. The opening hours are:
- Monday – Friday: 08:00 – 19:00
- Saturday: 08:00 – 18:00
- Sunday: 10:00 – 18:00
Shop Manager, Amy Stewart, said: “We can’t wait to welcome both Greggs fans and new customers to our brand-new shop. Whether it’s a Greggs classic savoury, a Fairtrade coffee or something hot for dinner, there’s something for everyone – ready to sit-in, take away or collect through Click + Collect.”
Gillian Long, Retail Operations Director for Greggs, said: “Our new shop at the Junction, Antrim has brought 14 new jobs to the local area, as well as providing customers with a modern, convenient new place to experience their Greggs favourites. It also marks an important step in strengthening our presence in Northern Ireland, creating meaningful employment in the region.”
