The shop, located near Blackpool North railway station, will stock freshly prepared Greggs favourites, such as the on-the-go-retailer’s popular sausage roll.

There will also be a range of over ice drinks on offer, including cloudy lemonade and iced mocha, which are only available in limited shops across the UK.

Customers can also take advantage of Greggs’ deals throughout the day, including its famed breakfast combinations, offering a breakfast roll or baguette alongside a Fairtrade orange juice or hot drink - served until 11am every day.

Shop Manager Jordan Good said: “We can’t wait to welcome both Greggs fans and new customers to our brand-new shop.

“We’ve got an amazing range of iconic savouries, Fairtrade hot drinks, hot food and healthier choices available for takeaway, sit-in or Click + Collect.”

Those looking for a bite to eat in the evening can enjoy hot food such as Southern-fried chicken goujons, potato wedges and a variety of pizza slices including Margherita, pepperoni, spicy Mexican chicken, spicy veg and pepperoni hot shot.

After 4pm, customers can pick up any pizza slice with any drink from just £2.85 instead of the usual £3.50 – now that’s more tasty for your money!

Customers looking to skip the queues and grab a quick bite on the go can order through Click + Collect via the Greggs App.

The Greggs App is free to download and gives access to a variety of tasty rewards.
