The closure comes in the same week that Greggs confirmed they have plans to open a new store in Fleetwood. The exact location has not been confirmed at this stage, but reports suggest the new Greggs will open at the Affinity outlet shopping centre.

A spokesperson for Greggs said: “Greggs is due to open a new shop Fleetwood later this year. While we are unable to share any details at the moment, we will share further information nearer the time.”

A job advertisement for a shift manager is already being advertised for the new store which will be a first for Fleetwood.

The nearest Greggs is currently in Blackpool so it expected the new store could generate business from the whole of the North Fylde area visiting Fleetwood for a Greggs sausage roll, a tasty steak bake or a coffee.
