Bakery giant Greggs signs up for Staffordshire retail park

Bakery giant Greggs has signed a 10-year lease on a new branch at a multi-million pound retail park development.

The company has agreed a deal on the new 1,250 sq ft building with Birmingham-based property company Hortons' Estate Ltd.

Work on the store at Cannock Gateway Retail Park, which is located off Churchbridge Island, has been completed and 12 new jobs have been created.

Greggs is the latest business to sign up for the development - which is one of the largest out-of-town retail schemes to be built in the Midlands.

Other occupiers include TK Maxx, Sofaworks, Burger King and Costa Coffee.
