Greggs cafe to open tomorrow in Birmingham's Primark with doughnut swing and Instagram area
A new 130-seat Greggs cafe will open up on Saturday's in the Primark's flagship Birmingham store.
Tasty by Greggs – described as the most "Instagrammable Greggs in the world" – is situated on level -1, between menswear and womenswear.
The cafe will open its doors at 8am offering a menu that features customer favourites including sausage rolls, bakes, pizza and sweet treats – alongside other hot food and coffee.
And it boasts doughnut-inspired seating areas alongside a picnic area, a refillable water station and a self-serve coffee cart – and a sugar stand doughnut for social media pictures.
The new Greggs cafe is part of first-of-its-kind collaboration between the bakery chain and the fashion retailer, which also includes an exclusive clothing range set to launch at selected stores on February 19.
The interior design is the brainchild of Nottingham based interior designer Philip Watts, who has worked with Greggs for more than 10 years.
Greggs business development director Raymond Reynolds said: "Greggs clothing is something our customers have continually asked for, so it's great that together with Primark we can now make our first official range available across the UK – so that fans can quite literally show their love for Greggs on their sleeves.
"We've got some great pieces that we can't wait to share. Our 'Tasty by Greggs' cafe will be the first of its kind, and will offer an exciting Greggs experience, underpinned by the great products and service that's already delivered across all of our shops."
The store, on Birmingham's High Street, opened up on April 2019 last year and became the world's biggest Primark – boasting five floors and 160,100sq ft in total.
Tim Kelly, director of new business development at Primark, added: "We want to give our customers incredible experiences in our stores and offer collections they can't find anywhere else, with brands we know they love.
"We're thrilled to have teamed up with Greggs to bring the Tasty Cafe to our Birmingham store and give fans of the brand the chance to get their hands on the limited-edition clothing range."
The cafe will open between Monday to Saturday, from 8am-9pm, and on Sunday from 10.30am-5pm.
