Greggs has revealed plans to expand its North Tyneside base as part of moves to boost production capacity, while also creating 125 jobs.
The food-on-the-go favourite has put forward proposals for its Balliol Business Park site, which could trigger the demolition of some empty or redundant buildings to replaced by a new production line.
In planning documents sent to North Tyneside Council, Greggs said the works are needed to help it meet demand from its growing shop portfolio, which now stands at more than 2,200 shops across the UK in city centres, retail parks, train stations and airports and drive-thrus.
