Holidaymakers will soon be able to purchase a Greggs sausage roll at Tenerife South Airport when the bakery opens its sole international outlet later this month. The shop, located in the international departures area, will offer a variety of bakes, rolls, sweet treats, and freshly-made sandwiches.
Return to International Markets
Greggs previously operated shops abroad in Belgium until 2008. The company stated that Tenerife is “the ideal location to test spreading our wings in an overseas setting.” The exact opening date has not yet been confirmed.
Menu Highlights
The menu will feature a Spanish omelette roll as part of the breakfast selection, alongside freshly squeezed orange juice prepared and bottled in-shop daily. Greggs described this as “giving customers a refreshing taste of island life.”
Tenerife South Airport welcomes approximately 13 million holidaymakers annually, with around 50% flying to and from the UK. Greggs noted that the location makes it the “perfect way to round off a trip without breaking the bank.” The shop will provide seating for up to 92 customers.
Executive Comments
Greggs chief executive Roisin Currie said: “Tenerife South Airport is a hub for millions of UK and international passengers each year, making it the ideal location to test spreading our wings in an overseas setting. It’s an exciting milestone for Greggs as we bring a slice of home to the Canaries, and we’re confident our great-value offering will resonate just as well under the Spanish sun as it does on the UK high street.”
The new shop will open in partnership with Lagardere Travel Retail, which operates over 5,000 stores in airports, railway stations, and other locations across more than 50 countries. Javier Cagigal, chief executive of Lagardere Travel Retail Spain and Portugal, said: “We’re delighted to partner with Greggs to bring such a well-loved brand into Tenerife South Airport for the very first time. As passengers head home, this new opening gives them a familiar, comforting choice in departures – whether that’s a last treat, a relaxed sit-down moment or something to ease the journey home.”
