Greggs has unveiled plans for a new national distribution centre in North Northamptonshire, in partnership with property developer Tritax Symmetry.
The proposed centre, which will be based at Symmetry Park in Kettering, includes 311,551 sq ft of logistics space on a 25.1-acre plot. The site is expected to open in the first half of 2027, subject to planning.
The initiative comes under the food company’s strategic growth plan, announced in 2021, which set out expansion targets requiring investment in significant supply chain capacity.

Greggs currently has 2,500 shops across the UK, hitting the milestone in May, with its growth plans targetting an estimate of more than 3,000 sites.
The brand said its investment would bolster its capacity to directly supply ambient and chilled products to its growing number of shops.
Tritax Symmetry is also seeking planning permission for an additional 100,000 sq ft to allow Greggs to expand its site further.
