GREGGS customers will be keen to know whether the bakery chain’s branches are open over the August bank holiday.
Shops, supermarkets, restaurants and cafes sometimes change their opening times on public holidays to give staff time off to rest.
But what about Greggs?
The bakery chain has around 2,000 locations across the country and many already have different opening hours.
For example, branches in train and bus stations are often open early in the morning – some as early as 5.30am.
Some also stay open late into the evening until 11pm, while a handful of locations never close their doors and are open 24 hours a day.
But of course, during holiday periods, like bank holidays, that can change.
This year the Summer bank holiday falls on Monday, August 26.
Here’s everything you need to know about the August bank holiday.
When is Greggs open over the late May bank holiday?
Greggs’ opening hours vary depending on which one you’re going to and some may operate different hours to usual.
For this reason, you should check your local branch’s opening hours to save a wasted trip.
You can do this by using the Greggs store locator found on its website, which will update automatically to reflect any changes.
Greggs’ restaurants will operate normal trading hours on Saturday and Sunday (August 24 and 25).
