Greggs: Bakery fails in bid for 24-hour Leicester Square store

  1. A quick Google says the Wetherspoons on Leicester Square stays open til midnight on weekends and the McDonalds is open til 2:45am. I’m pretty sure the casinos on the square are open 24/7 and 3am will be throwing out time for the nightclubs in the area.

    But no late opening for Greggs, clearly Greggs would be way too dangerous. Just stick to McDonalds and the casinos.

  2. Don’t get me wrong i like greggs sarnies especially the chicken club but fuck me there sausage rolls are shit and i miss my old bakers oven they used actual fucking sausages not minched pork not to mention they did a jumbo sausage roll that had a sweet sauce but i never found out what it was but i fucking loved those.

  3. Ah yes, it is not the poverty numbers rising that are causing crime in the UK, it’s greggs franchises popping up everywhere that are causing crime.

  4. It’s so ridiculous.

    I go to the Hippodrome casino sometimes for poker, and that’s 24/7.

    Some people come out if that place absolutely smashed (and/or suicidal if they’ve lost their month’s pay on roulette).

    Yet we can’t sell sausage rolls for fear of anti social behaviour?

  5. Give me a Maccies, give me a Spoons hell give me dog shit in puff pastry before I again eat whatever is in their “creamy chicken”

  6. Apparently it was at the police’s request. Even though they were going to have a doorman. I can imagine it would become a problem place but it makes sense to me for people to able to get carbs and women to feel safe while they wait for friends/Uber. Actually maybe they need more than one doorman. And combat pay for staff. Can imagine the CCTV would be on YouTube a lot.

  7. Genuinely what is the deal with Greggs? its not even that good, there’s much better bakeries out there than Greggs.

    Where I live, there’s 3 all within a stones throw of each other, you can actually see one of them, from another

  8. London just isn’t a 24 hour city, it used to be comfortably but it’s thinning out, getting lame. Greg’s or no Greg’s London is a brunch city.

  9. This country is weird sometimes, I’m not complaining, but you can legally drink on the street and they’re worried about Greggs increasing the numbers of drunk people?
