Greggs has launched its first ever cafe inside of a Sainsbury’s store, as the partnership between the companies takes another step forward.
The cafe has opened in the supermarket’s Crystal Peaks, Sheffield store, creating 15 new jobs.
Customers will be able to buy Greggs favourites such as sandwiches, bakes and coffee, and can sit in or takeaway.
The cafe is the third Greggs shop to open in partnership with the grocer, following the launch of a shop where the businesses share petrol forecourt space earlier this year.

The companies said they planned to launch further sites together by the end of 2023, including both petrol filling stations and cafes.
Sainsbury’s director of commercial partnerships Elizabeth Newman said: “We’re delighted to have welcomed Greggs to another Sainsbury’s store, this time in the form of a fantastic café concept that represents another first for our customers.
“Greggs has proven very popular at Sainsbury’s petrol station in Biggleswade and we’re expecting the new café in Crystal Peaks to build on its success – I’m really looking forward to hearing what our customers think.”
