Greggs is hugely popular in the UK, with Brits loving its affordable and tasty food. The chain sells more sausage rolls than McDonald's sells Big Macs, and key to its success are a number of behind-the-scenes secrets.
Today, there are 2,000 Greggs stores across the UK, hiring 25,000 people - a far cry from when the chain started as a single shop in Newcastle in 1951. Sales have more than doubled in the past ten years and only Tesco and McDonald's sell more takeaway food, the Mirror reports.
Prices have risen recently due to inflation but many people are still devoted to the chain. One thing that keeps everything at Greggs running smoothly is the secret markings on the pasties, which you would struggle to tell apart at first.
