Greggs Customers: Pies Greggs and Sausage Rolls

greggs customers: As well as offering its traditional favourites such as sausage rolls and pasties, Greggs customers can now indulge in the chain's Christmas range, including its festive bake, its turkey, bacon and cranberry roll, and its mince pies, according to The Guardian. Greggs said that after the stronger sales it was now expecting full-year pretax profits of at least 86m in 2018, having previously expected profits to be roughly in line with the 81.8m achieved in 2017. The bakery chain was the top FTSE 250 riser after reporting a 9% increase in sales in the eight weeks to 24 November. Investors welcomed the strong performance, which bucks the broader trend on Britain's high streets as retailers struggle with higher costs and changing shopping habits as consumers buy more online. Operational costs have been well controlled and, whilst there is still much to play for over the final few weeks of the year, the board now anticipate that full-year underlying profit before tax excluding exceptional charges will be at least 86m. The company said in a statement This stronger trading in October and November is particularly encouraging as it builds on good comparative sales in the same period last year.
