Because they have a sound business model.
Alt: Yes, me.

Really?
Seriously?

I would presume seeing as they have stores all over the country (except my town)
That their business model must be working pretty well for them

There are more Greggs than McDonalds in the UK.

Seriously?

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 26 Jul 2011, 11:32, Reply)

Yeah boy.

(Barry from Eastenders is, despite the words written above, not a woman, Tue 26 Jul 2011, 11:37, Reply)

No
There are 1500 greggs in the UK and 2500 Mcdonalds

However there are more Greggs in the UK than there are Mcdonalds in England.

Just Googled it and found a couple articles that back me up.
From last year though.

Are you sure you're not thinking of Subway?
I heard that they were overtaking McDonald's in terms of global domination.

I just went on their respective webpages and looked at uk locations
I think they know how many stores they have.
( Peej, Tue 26 Jul 2011, 11:54, Reply)

Yes

( Kroney, Tue 26 Jul 2011, 11:29, Reply)

Any port in a storm I guess.
Their food is just so damned fatty though.
(The Luggage is haunted..., Tue 26 Jul 2011, 11:30, Reply)

I tend to move around occasionally.
So I don't find it a problem.
( Kroney, Tue 26 Jul 2011, 11:32, Reply)

Probably contains less fat than your standard chippy lunch.

I bet it doesn't

Yeah if you have one thing.
But that don't fill you up. I had to have three steak bakes the last time I was in there (there was nothing else in the station and it was about four years ago).

One would be plenty for me.
What's wrong with you?
( Kroney, Tue 26 Jul 2011, 11:40, Reply)

I tend to go for the Sausage, Bean & Cheese ones
One of the best hangover cures I can get.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 26 Jul 2011, 11:40, Reply)

Four pints and a massive line is better.

Sadly that's a no-no if I'm off to work.
What a cunt, eh?
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 26 Jul 2011, 11:46, Reply)

Have you tried their chicken and stuffing pasties?

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 26 Jul 2011, 11:32, Reply)

greggs don't make pasties
they make abominations
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 26 Jul 2011, 11:35, Reply)

As if you'd know, you don't even like Ginsters.

( Kroney, Tue 26 Jul 2011, 11:35, Reply)

greggs are worse than ginsters
and that's saying something
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 26 Jul 2011, 11:37, Reply)

You obviously don't know what a good pastie tastes like.
And you a Cornish, too. For shame.
( Kroney, Tue 26 Jul 2011, 11:39, Reply)

I'm not cornish, nor have I ever claimed to be.
and your feeble attempts at winding me up aren't working. I was making a point, if you morons want to carry one eating that filth you are more than welcome.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 26 Jul 2011, 11:40, Reply)

You're mean.

( Kroney, Tue 26 Jul 2011, 11:42, Reply)

Fuck off are they.
Ginsters are 90% air. At least with Greggs you get a decent level of slop.

And peas and carrots apparently
WRONG
