Greggs has delighted fans today by announcing the relaunch of its JustEat delivery service and it’s rolling out right across Greater Manchester.
JustEat users in Greater Manchester have reported receiving emails from the ever-popular high street bakery chain today to let them know that “the bakes are back”.
Even better, there’s no minimum spend either.
Greggs first partnered with JustEat to bring a selection of its best-loved baked goods direct to front doors across the country back in January, but the service was believed to have been temporarily suspended after the closure of stores nationwide amid the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
The bakery chain confirmed that 800 of its branches across the UK would be reopening doors to customers once again on 19th June, including a number in Greater Manchester, but no word was given on the resuming of the delivery service at that time.

A total of three Greggs branches are now believed to be delivering to areas across the region.
According to the JustEat website, one Manchester city centre store (King Street), the Levenshulme branch, and the Oldham (Henshaw Street) branch are now all eligible for Greggs delivery, with fan favourites Steak Bakes, Sausage Rolls, Vegan Sausage Rolls and Bacon Breakfast Rolls among the items all featuring on the delivery menu.

Whilst there had previously been certain minimum spending limits for delivery, this is believed to have been removed, although delivery charges and radius ranges will still apply.
Andrew Kenny, Managing Director of Just Eat UK, said: “Greggs has proved extremely popular with our customers, especially during breakfast, demonstrating that as a nation we love the convenience of getting our favourite food delivered.”
Greggs has indicated that further stores will become eligible for delivery in the near future, so be sure to keep your eyes peeled and check back.

Home Bargains has announced a special two-day closure of all UK stores
Emily Sergeant
Home Bargains has, once again, announced it’ll be closing all its UK stores on both Boxing Day and New Year’s Day this year.
And it’s to make sure staff get a ‘well deserved break’.
After what has been yet another busy year for the retail industry, many workers have been left feeling like they could do with a little extra time off, which is why Home Bargains is following on with what has become a now-annual tradition by shutting up shop on two bank holidays.
All of our stores will be closing for Boxing Day & New Years Day.
Announcing the move in a post on social media, the discount retailer confirmed: “All of our stores will be closing for Boxing Day and New Years Day. We would like to thank all our colleagues for how hard you have worked this past year, and want you to relax and enjoy the Christmas break with your loved ones.”
Of course, this isn’t the first time the retailer has kept its doors shut on bank holidays.
Many shoppers will recall it has made the same decision to give hardworking staff a break every year since 2019.
Explaining a little more about the decision taken to close all its stores, Home Bargains said: “As a family-run business, we know the importance of being together at Christmas with those we care about most, now more than ever.
“This is our way of saying thank you to our colleagues for their continued hard work and dedication.”

Two Greggs in Manchester will be serving their breakfast menu in the evening next week

Who says breakfast has to end at 11am?
In news that’s set to be music to the ears of breakfast lovers in Manchester, Greggs is giving them exactly what they want.
We all know that brunch is a ‘thing’ by now, so now it’s time for brinner to make a name for itself instead, as Greggs has teamed up with Heinz to bring its much-loved breakfast menu back for tea time, kicking off from 4pm onwards.
The move comes as a new survey has found that the majority of Mancs (69%) admit to enjoying eating breakfast food in the evening, saying it’s ‘convenient and comforting’ – even ranking breakfast as a ‘more important’ meal than tea, as well (38% vs 36%).

Greggs says it has ‘lost count’ of the amount of customers that have tried to order breakfast items after the usual cut-off time, especially in Greater Manchester.
But luckily for those breakfast-loving Mancs, they can finally get their favourite breakfast and sauce pairing long after the morning rush is over next… but only at two Greggs branches, and only for a very limited time.
On Wednesday 14 and Thursday 15 October, the Heinz x Greggs Brinner collab will be available at Greggs St Mary’s Gate and Greggs Oxford Road, from 4-7pm only.
“We’ve lost count of the number of customers who have tried their luck ordering breakfast after 11am, so when Heinz came to us with the idea of making Brinner a reality, it felt like the perfect excuse to give the people what they want,” explained Zoe Harris, who is the Customer Director at Greggs.
“And let’s be honest, a Greggs Bacon Roll just wouldn’t be the same without a squeeze of Heinz Tomato Ketchup.”
