GREGGS customers will be keen to know whether the bakery chain’s branches are open over Christmas and New Year.

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.
