Greggs said it is set to keep temporary store closures in place until June 26, 2026. The company cited extreme heat warnings as that reason. A national heatwave has forced restaurants and food halls across that country to shut down.
The move follows similar actions by other food outlets, such as closures in Greater Manchester market halls and menu cuts at several chains. Restaurants across the nation have turned off fryers and trimmed menus to stay safe. Food halls in Greater Manchester were forced to close as temperatures peaked. Greggs anticipates to reopen following the heat warning lifts.
