An iconic high street bakery has unveiled a new, smaller “Bitesize” store format designed to fit into busy, high-footfall locations where space is limited.
If you’ve ever wished your favourite Greggs treats were just a little more convenient while on the move, you’re in luck.
The first off Greggs’ Bitesize shops opened its doors last Friday (November 7), offering commuters and shoppers a chance to grab a selection of Greggs’ best-loved pastries, sandwiches, and drinks without taking up a full store footprint.
Tony Rowson, Greggs’ property director, said: “We’re excited to announce the launch of our Bitesize Greggs concept.
“This small but mighty new format will allow us to reach more customers on the go from compact units, whilst still offering a selection of our best-selling products.

For shoppers, the Bitesize rollout promises a quicker, easier way to pick up morning coffee, lunch, or an afternoon treat without straying far from their daily route.
Greggs currently operates 2,675 shops across the UK and is in the midst of an ambitious expansion programme, with the company committing to plans to open 120 new locations in 2025, aiming to eventually reach as many as 3,500 nationwide.
Confirmed Bitesize Greggs locations so far:
The debut Bitesize Greggs launched last Friday at Sevenoaks Railway Station, giving commuters and casual passers-by the chance to pick up a range of the bakery’s popular pastries, sandwiches, and drinks from a compact, space-saving unit.
In December, two more Bitesize stores are set to launch at Dartford Station, Kent, and Cheshire Oaks, with Greggs planning to expand the format further if the trial proves successful.
The Bitesize rollout enables Greggs to target prime locations where a full-sized shop wouldn’t be feasible, such as railway stations, retail parks, and other busy hubs.
As the trial unfolds, customers can expect more Bitesize shops to appear across the UK, bringing Greggs’ iconic sausage rolls, sweet treats, and hot drinks even closer to wherever life takes them.
