Greggs closes multiple bakery locations as extreme temperatures affect the UK, with London facing very high heat during a heatwave. Evening Standard reports that Greggs shuts shops in London, where temperatures reach around 37C. Metro adds that the company is forced to close 11 stores due to the heat, framing the decision as a measure to protect staff. The Mirror similarly says Greggs closes stores across the UK, citing unsafe heat levels and health concerns, including worries about the safety of both staff and customers in hot conditions.
Across the reports, Greggs presents store closures as a health and safety response to temperatures that are too high for normal operations. While the exact number of closures outside London is not consistently detailed, all outlets agree the closures are linked to heatwave conditions and are intended to reduce risk in workplaces and shops. The company’s actions include temporary shutdowns rather than changes to its wider business described in these accounts.
