Greggs: good, quality English bread It's a tale of a Greggs' success story, that of a normal family bakery business founded by the current chairman, John Gregg. Today that business is the largest bakery chain in the United Kingdom with more than 1100 chains. With its growth based on the purchase of chains (such as Allied Bakeries Limited, since becoming one of the leading brands of Greggs, Bakers Oven), the group has expertly evolved from a simple bakery to being a market leader in preparation and sales in its sandwich and cake shops. The company has openly declared its desire to expand business to the continent.
