Liverpool's 'famous Mr Greggs' visits shops head to toe in merch

A Greggs-obsessed man has bought almost every piece of clothing and been pictured outside a number of shops in Liverpool.

Mark Andersen, 53, from Huyton, always buys his t-shirts from Primark, and when he saw the shop selling Greggs clothing he decided to buy a few items. He then kept going back for more and now he has three "Greggs uniforms" he wears regularly.

While out doing some shopping in Tuebrook, Mark passed the Derby Road store on his way to another shop wearing a Greggs t-shirt. When he came outside, one of the workers was holding a sausage roll and asked if they could take a picture of him outside the shop.

Mark told The ECHO : "I saw her standing outside the shop and I thought she was coming in, but when I left she came over to me and asked to take my picture outside. I said 'yeah okay' and she gave me a sausage roll.

"I jokingly said 'I would love a cheese and onion pasty' and she gave me one of them too. I then called the shop when I got home and told them I have a full uniform, so asked if they wanted me to come back the next day."

He went back the next day dressed in head to toe Greggs including a top, shorts, socks, crocs and bucket hat, and the worker told him the company was hoping to use his picture on Instagram. Since then he has been visiting as many Greggs as he can in the city.

Mark said: "I love Greggs, but I don't have a car which makes it hard. If one is on my route I will pop my head in and ask if they want a picture of the famous Mr Greggs. I have been to Tuebrook, Old Swan, Huyton Village and the city by Lewiss'."

While out and about in his full Greggs uniform, Mark says he has been stopped by people in the street asking for a picture with him. Now his cousin has made him his own Instagram account, and he hopes to visit more stores in future.
