The firm has taken out a 10-year lease at the premises in Pool Road, and new jobs are set to be created.

The building was a Little Chef restaurant before its most recent use as a car showroom.

Rebecca Welch of Halls Commercial, which secured the deal, said it was great news for the area.

She said: “This is a great location, just opposite Screwfix and nearby to Tesco.

“Bosses at Greggs thought it was the perfect opportunity to serve people in the area from a property which has a great frontage and plenty of parking.

“Work will now begin on transforming the building into a food premises again and we look forward to seeing the property in use once again.”
