Greggs opens new, larger Swansea city centre shop as part of major regeneration scheme

Greggs has opened its new and improved shop today in Swansea, creating six new jobs for the area. Previously located at 241 Oxford Street, the popular bakery chain has relocated to a larger unit at 254 Oxford Street, the former H Samuel building on the corner of Union Street.

The move is part of a wider regeneration of the 254-260 Oxford Street block by developer Kartay, which acquired six properties. The refurbishment included new shop frontages, and the redevelopment of the upper floors into 33 new apartments.

The new Greggs shop features a modern new look with both indoor and outdoor seating.

Shop Manager Sally Amesbury said: “We can’t wait to welcome both Greggs fans and new customers to our brand-new shop. We’ve got an amazing range of iconic savouries, Fairtrade hot drinks, hot food and healthier choices available for takeaway, sit-in or Click + Collect.”

Gillian Long, Retail Operations Director for Greggs, added: “We’re excited to be welcoming customers to our new and improved shop in Swansea with six new members joining the existing team. We look forward to providing customers with a modern, convenient new place to experience their Greggs favourites.”

The company has confirmed that any further jobs created at the Swansea shop will be posted on its careers website.

The new shop at 254 Oxford Street is open Monday to Saturday from 6am to 6pm, and on Sundays from 6am to 5pm.
