Greggs closes doors at Bury shopping centre for a 'refresh'

Greggs, at The Rock Shopping Centre, has been closed to customers as work begins to refurbish the popular pasty shop.

Work began on Friday, September 15, and is expected to last just over three weeks, reopening again with a 'refreshed' look on Saturday, October 7.

Hungry shoppers and fans of the British bakery will not have to travel too far however to get their fix of the chain's sweet and savoury foods.

There are two other Greggs stores in the town centre, one located in the Mill Gate Shopping Centre at Unit 22, The Mall, and another, just outside of the shopping centre, on Princess Parade.

From the store on the Rock, the Greggs at The Mall is around a five-minute walk and the Princess Parade store is around an eight-minute walk.

 Following the closure of the shop on The Rock, a notice, posted in the store window reads: “Crumbs!

“Sorry, we’re closing for a refresh.

“We’ll be closed from 15/09 until 07/10.

“Your nearest shop is Millgate The Mall.”

The Rock Shopping Centre has recently seen several new stores opening including a Doner and Gyros diner and takeaway.

The venue opened on Saturday with customers queuing out of the door to get their hands on the Mediterranean-inspired food.

Another new addition to the shopping site will be the popular café chain, Starbucks.

The official opening date has not yet been confirmed but the store will be situated opposite Greggs and Sketchers and is expected to open this month.

It is the latest big-name brand to open at The Rock since the additions of Ann Summers, Kaspa’s Desserts, Shoe Zone and the first Vanilla store, a women's clothes store, in the North West.
