Greggs sells bakery food to people on their way somewhere. Sausage rolls, steak bakes, sandwiches, coffee, and a vegan range that turned into a national argument and then a bestseller. The chain reached 2,773 shops after 34 net openings in the first half of 2026, and it plans between 100 and 110 more this year including ten trial sites of a smaller Express format, which is the sort of expansion pace most food retailers gave up on years ago.
The numbers behind it hold up. Sales for the 26 weeks to late June rose 7.2 percent to just over 1.1 billion pounds, with like-for-like growth in both company-managed and franchised shops. Value is the reason: when household budgets tighten, a hot lunch for a few pounds stops being a convenience and becomes the sensible option, and Greggs occupies that position more securely than anyone competing with it.
Two shifts are reshaping the business, and both run through the app. Evening trade now accounts for 9 percent of sales in company-operated shops, a daypart a bakery had no obvious claim to until delivery made one, and the figure that explains the push is this: a delivery basket is worth roughly three times a walk-in purchase. Alongside that, the loyalty mechanic does real work. App users who try a new shop visit more often overall, and promotions built into the app, including a stamp offer rotating through a different bake each day of the week, drove growth the company describes as profitable rather than bought.
Setting up the app confirms a phone number by SMS. Afterwards the number carries the offers the loyalty programme runs on, order and collection notifications, and a driver's call on a delivery. Take the confirmation on an additional number and that traffic keeps its own line. It reaches you inside your 5SIM order, while your stamps, orders and favourite shop stay in the Greggs app.
How to buy a virtual phone number for Greggs
Pick Greggs from the service list on 5SIM. The countries currently holding numbers for it load next. Choose one and the operators serving that country and service pairing appear.
Every operator line carries price, available quantity and SMS delivery rate together. Weigh all three rather than sorting on price. Low stock behind a weak recent rate usually means a second attempt, which costs more than the cheaper line saved.
Your number lands in the active order as soon as you buy. Enter it in the Greggs phone field, request the SMS, and the message arrives in that same order window. Orders stay live for roughly 15 to 20 minutes.
If nothing comes through, cancel the unused active order and the payment returns to your 5SIM balance right away. An unused order left to expire refunds on its own.
