Greggs fans rejoice as Glasgow Airport shop to reopen after 13-year absence

Great news for Scottish Greggs lovers as the fan favourite is set to make its grand return to Glasgow Airport 13 years after shutting its doors.

The popular bakery chain previously had a smaller presence within the busy airport before it was closed down back in 2010. Now, it is set to reopen a larger store in a different location this April in a move that will bring 20 new jobs with it.

The new larger sit-in and takeaway venue is set to be located within the former Mozzo Cafe premise which is situated next to Glasgow Airport's international arrivals.

As well as enough space for 50 seated covers, the new venue will also feature an outdoor area where customers can enjoy an alfresco cake, bake or coffee.

Glasgow Airport announced on Twitter that travellers will once again be able to enjoy a range of the chain's famous pastries including sausage rolls, steak bakes and vegan sausage rolls.

Early-bird travellers will also be able to grab one of the chain's breakfast options, alongside a range of sandwiches, salads, sweet treats and coffee.

As many of us Scots are huge fans of the chain's beloved pastries, the news has, naturally, been met with rapturous applause as customers flocked to tag friends and family in the good news.

"Time to book another holiday just for this", commented one.

"No mistakeBake about it, good move", joked a second.

A third responded to the tweet with a simple gif that said: "YAAAAAASSSSSS."

Ronald Leitch, Operations Director at Glasgow Airport, said: "I am really looking forward to welcoming Greggs back to the terminal and I have no doubt it will be very popular not only with our passengers, but also the thousands of people employed across our wider airport campus.

"We anticipate welcoming an additional one million passengers this year as we continue our recovery, so the introduction of such a popular retailer as Greggs is fantastic news. Roll on April!"

Gillian Long, Retail Operations Director for Greggs said: "We’re excited to be opening a shop at Glasgow Airport in the coming months, bringing local jobs to the area as well as providing customers with a modern, convenient new place to experience their favourite Greggs food before taking to the skies."
