Greggs has opened its new site in Carlisle today, creating 20 new jobs for the area.

The site previously belonged to the Eastern Way Surgery, which closed in 2022 due to South Carlisle Health Care merging services from Brunswick House, Eastern Way, and Arnside House.

An initial application to transform the site was submitted to Cumberland Council in June. 

Gillian Long, retail operations director for Greggs, said: "Our new shop in Carlisle has brought 20 new jobs to the local area, as well as providing customers with a modern, convenient new place to experience their Greggs favourites."

The shop will be open from 5.30am to 7pm, Monday to Saturday, and 6.30am to 5pm on Sundays.

Any further jobs created at the Carlisle shop will be posted on https://www.greggsfamily.co.uk/.
