Food retailer Greggs saw its total sales increase by 6.1% in the 13 weeks to 27 September 2025, and company-managed like-for-like sales went up by 1.5%.

The business also experienced a 6.7% increase in sales and a 2.2% rise in like-for-like sales year-over-year.

The successful results were driven by the introduction of an autumn menu and an improving trading period in August and September after a slowdown in sales due to the heatwave in July, said a statement from the business.

The baker expanded its range of products, as well as extending the availability of their ‘Bake At Home’ range in partnership with Tesco. The range is available at 930 Iceland stores and 820 Tesco stores.

Greggs has opened 130 new stores in the year-to-date and closed 73 locations. As part of its upcoming plans, the food-to-go store will continue to invest in its estate and plans to open around 120 new stores in 2025.

The business has an improved outlook for cost inflation in 2025, and the expectation for the full-year results remains unchanged.

Greggs said it was able to achieve strong results in the quarter despite “challenging market conditions” due to an estate expansion plan and offering a wide range of products for their customers.
