Ayr's newest Greggs store has officially opened its doors.

It was announced last month that the bakery chain was planning to open a new spot in the Tesco superstore on Whitletts Road.

The popular bakery already has four stores in the town at Heathfield Retail Park, Allison Retail Park, and two on Ayr High Street.

Signs had been erected around the Tesco store to announce the news, with job opportunities opening up as well.

The store officially opened to customers on Friday, December 1.

New additions to the festive hot drink range include the all-new Orange Hot Chocolate and Orange Mocha, which join the returning Mint Hot Chocolate, Mint Mocha and Salted Caramel Latte.

The Ayr shop opens with a fresh new look and its opening hours are:

  • Monday – Friday: 7am - 9pm
  • Saturday: 7am – 7:30pm
  • Sunday: 8am – 6pm

 

Shop manager Joanne Wallace said: “We can’t wait to welcome both Greggs fans and new customers to our brand-new shop.

"We’ve got an amazing range of tasty bakes, hot drinks, sweet treats and savouries available for takeaway or Click + Collect.”

Gillian Long, Retail Operations Director for Greggs, added: “Our new shop in Ayr has brought 12 new jobs to the local area, as well as providing customers with a modern, convenient new place to experience their favourite Greggs food.”
