Holidaymakers will be able to buy a Greggs sausage roll at Tenerife South airport from later this month when the baker opens its only international outlet. Greggs last operated shops abroad in Belgium in 2008, but said Tenerife was \u201cthe ideal location to test spreading our wings in an overseas setting\u201d.<\/p>\n

While the exact date for the opening is not yet set, Greggs said the shop in the international departures area of the airport will stock a range of bakes, rolls and sweet treats, as well as freshly-made sandwiches. A Spanish omelette roll will be available as part of the breakfast menu alongside freshly squeezed orange juice, prepared and bottled in-shop daily, \u201cgiving customers a refreshing taste of island life\u201d, the baker said.<\/p>\n

Tenerife South airport welcomes around 13 million holidaymakers every year, with around 50% flying to and from the UK. Greggs said the location made it the \u201cperfect way to round off a trip without breaking the bank\u201d.<\/p>\n

The shop will also offer seating for up to 92 customers. Greggs chief executive Roisin Currie said: \u201cTenerife South Airport is a hub for millions of UK and international passengers each year, making it the ideal location to test spreading our wings in an overseas setting.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an exciting milestone for Greggs as we bring a slice of home to the Canaries, and we\u2019re confident our great-value offering will resonate just as well under the Spanish sun as it does on the UK high street.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new shop will open in partnership with Lagardere Travel Retail, which operates more than 5,000 stores in airports, railway stations and other locations in over 50 countries worldwide. Javier Cagigal, chief executive of Lagardere Travel Retail Spain and Portugal, said: \u201cWe\u2019re delighted to partner with Greggs to bring such a well-loved brand into Tenerife South Airport for the very first time.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs passengers head home, this new opening gives them a familiar, comforting choice in departures \u2013 whether that\u2019s a last treat, a relaxed sit-down moment or something to ease the journey home.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The shop will also offer seating for up to 92 customers 06:57, 12 May 2026Updated 10:14, 12 May…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":22176,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[6156,11551,3965,17,3966,3703,357],"class_list":{"0":"post-22175","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-spain","8":"tag-bank-holiday","9":"tag-greggs","10":"tag-school-holidays","11":"tag-spain","12":"tag-summer-holidays","13":"tag-tenerife","14":"tag-travel"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22175","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22175"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22175\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22176"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22175"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22175"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22175"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
