People only just realising that Greggs pasties have 'secret' marking on them

Greggs is a much-loved British institution thanks to their delicious offerings and affordability. Greggs sells more sausage rolls than McDonald's sells Big Macs, and there are plenty of behind-the-scenes secrets that make it as successful as it is.

Starting off as a solo shop in Newcastle in 1951, there are now 2,000 stores across the UK hiring 25,000 employees, and sales have more than doubled over the last decade.

Only Tesco and McDonald's sell more takeaway food than Greggs, and despite the fact that prices have gone up thanks to inflation, many people are still desperately loyal to the chain.
