British bakery chain Greggs has confirmed its intentions to open a store at High Street Mall in Portadown.
The company has submitted a planning application for the former Portadown Cares premises, which is expected to go ahead unchallenged. The proposal will be publicly advertised next week, according to armaghi.com.
Eight new jobs would be created if all goes according to plan. The application is for the “subdivision of the existing shop unit to create unit for the sale of food and drink including consumption on the premises”. It would also include minor shopfront alterations.
Today Gregg’s has over 1,700 bakery stores right across the UK and there are no plans on halting that expansion any time soon.
