Greggs opens new logistic site to support 3,500 restaurant target

The new site is expected to open by 2026.

Greggs has entered into a lease agreement for a new state-of-the-art frozen production and logistics facility at SmartParc SERGO Derby in Spondon, Derby.

The new site, which is currently being developed and is expected to open in late 2026, will provide Greggs with additional manufacturing and logistics capacity to support their target of 3,500 restaurants in the UK.

The new purpose-built facility will provide additional manufacturing capacity for products – including sweet and savoury production lines – as well as logistics for frozen storage and fully automated robotic order picking and distribution. Additional capacity is available to invest in new manufacturing platforms and production lines to meet future category growth, innovation and development, as well as volume demand.

Greggs said the site has also been designed with the environment in mind with features including an onsite shared Energy Centre, a centralised heating and cooling system that recycles heat from refrigeration plants across the estate, a rainwater harvesting system, PV panels and EV charging points.
