LEADING food retailer Greggs opened a new outlet at 39 Calcutta Road, Tilbury.

Customers can expect a wide range of discounted Greggs favourites, which have recently expanded to include items such as pizza and cream cakes.

Shop manager Lina Patel said: "We can't wait to open our doors to the Tilbury community. Every purchase made here not only prevents good food from going to waste but also helps fund our community grant programme, supporting local organisations to deliver vital services."

Greggs has an ongoing commitment to tackling food waste and building stronger communities through its outlet initiative which redistributes surplus food products, typically priced at around 50% less than in a standard Greggs shop, helping customers stretch household budgets while reducing waste.

Roisin Currie, Chief Executive at Greggs said: "Our new Outlet shop in Tilbury reaffirms the commitments set out in the Greggs Pledge to reduce waste and support communities. By selling surplus products at great value and reinvesting a portion of the profits through The Greggs Foundation, we can help families and local charities across the country."

The shop is open at the following times:

• Monday – Friday: 7am-5pm
• Saturday: 7.30am-5pm
• Sunday: 8.30am-4pm
