First look as new Edinburgh Greggs opens at busy Gyle shopping centre

Greggs opened a brand new shop in Edinburgh on Thursday, January 9, creating 14 new jobs for the area.

The shop is located at 42 Gyle Shopping Centre, joining over 2,500 other UK Greggs locations.

Greggs is moving into the space previously used by Bank of Scotland many years ago.

It will join the shopping centre’s existing eating options such as Costa Coffee, Baguette Express, and Subway.

The new Edinburgh storefront will stock Greggs favourites, such as the on-the-go-retailer’s popular Sausage Roll, and Steak Bake, in addition to a range of over ice drinks including Cloudy Lemonade and Iced Mocha, which are only available in limited shops across the UK.

Vegan friendly options are available for Veganuary – like the Spicy Vegetable Curry Bake – among a lineup of other vegan-friendly treats like the iconic Vegan Sausage Roll, the Vegan Sausage Breakfast Roll and the Southern Fried Potato Wedges.
