Greggs to put up price of breakfast deals and other items after weak summer sales

Bakery chain hit by sales growth slowdown as July heatwave led to shoppers shunning hot pastries

The bakery chain Greggs is increasing the price of its breakfast deals by 20p and some other products by 5p from Thursday after unusually hot weather hit sales over the summer.

The group said its three-part deal including a breakfast roll or baguette, hot drink and a side would rise in price from £3.95 to £4.15. The two-part offer, which includes a main item and a drink, will rise from £2.95 to £3.15.
