GREGGS has confirmed the opening of its 500th franchise shop – at Monktonhall Service Station on the outskirts of Musselburgh.
The opening of the milestone franchise is in collaboration with franchise partner Motor Fuel Group (MFG).
This year, Greggs opened 71 franchised units, with these now accounting for approximately 20 per cent of its total estate.
Through its partnership with MFG, Greggs has a network of 84 shops, all trading as part of petrol filling station locations across the UK.
Malcolm Copland, commercial director at Greggs, said: “Just one year since we marked our 400th franchise, we’re now delighted to open our 500th – this is a huge milestone that underscores the success of our franchise model.
“As we round off 2023, we’re pleased to be on track to meet our ambitious shop expansion targets for the year ahead.
“The relationships we’ve built with our valued franchise partners have been critical in enabling us to accelerate our shop expansion plans and reach key travel hub locations across the UK.”
MFG’s Monktonhall Service Station features a BP petrol station and a Miss Millie’s Fried Chicken outlet.
