What is Greggs?

Greggs is a bakery that was founded in 1939 by John Gregg in, Newcastle upon Tyne, England, United kingdom. The company was originally a high street chain. In 1951, the company was rebranded as Greggs Bakeries Limited. John Gregg's son, Ian Gregg, took over the business and started to develop the in-shop bakery concept.The company has since expanded significantly since then, with over 2,500 stores across the United Kingdom.

Greggs has a long history of community involvement. They had the the first 'pie n peas' supper event for older residents in Gateshead in the 1960's. The company has also over the years established The Greggs Foundation, which supports individuals, families, and community organisations across the United Kingdom with grant programmes.

In the 1970s, Greggs expanded taking over many other bakeries, including Glasgow-based Rutherglen in 1972, Leeds-based Thurston's in 1974.

Greggs has been involved in various charitable activities, supporting the Children's Cancer Run, which has raised over £40m to fund research into improving recovery rates of children with cancer. The company continues to focus on its commitment to doing good and giving back to the communities it serves.

The company also embraces digital innovation, with the launch of the Greggs App and the use of Click Collect services across the United Kingdom.

Greggs is now famous throughout the United Kingdom for it's Sausage Rolls, Bakes, and Range of Cakes and Sweet Treats.

 

So what are the reasons not to use your own phone number on sign up?

• There are many reasons why someone might not want to use their personal phone number for the Greggs App.
• First and foremost - privacy concerns may arise as providing a phone number can expose personal information.
• Additionally - there maybe a risk of receiving unsolicited marketing messages or calls from Greggs or third parties.
• Furthermore - if the phone number is lost or stolen, it could lead to unauthorised access to the Greggs App account, potentially resulting in financial loss.
• Finally - some users may prefer to keep their phone numbers private and avoid sharing them with businesses.
• By using a SMSPool phone number you are able to eradicate all the above and have peace of mind on sign up.
