Keen as mustard for Greggs
IT MAY have cut the mustard with New Yorkers on a taste test, but Brits are struggling to get to grips with Greggs’ new hot dogs.
Greggs has reported record profit share
Chief executive Roger Whiteside hailed an “exceptional step up in performance” as annual pre-tax profi t jumped 41 per cent to £58.3million on 5.5 per cent higher sales of £804million.
He said: “Hot sandwiches is a growth area and hot dogs got off to a very strong start, but customers are finding it difficult to eat on the move.”
A record £6.4million profit share will see qualifying staff receiving up to £1,000. Its shares rose 92½p to a record 963p.
