Greggs fans say 'dreams have come true' as outlet store opens in Salford

Greggs fans have welcomed the arrival of a new outlet store selling its favourite bakery items for a fraction of the usual price. The new Greggs Outlet has opened next to Aldi, in Irlams 'o th' Height, Salford . Previous outlet stores, including one opposite Oldham's Tommyfield Market, have been a huge success, mostly because the majority of the products are less than half the price you'd usually pay.

The stores help to tackle food waste by receiving items that haven't sold in other shops at the end of the day to sell on at a discount.
