Greggs have confirmed plans to reopen 800 shops for takeaway delivery on June 18, Reuters reports.
The bakery closed all of its UK stores on March 24, following the introduction of lockdown measures.
Now the chain will be reopening on the 18th June with new-look stores, floor markings, protective clothes for staff and screens at counters among several measures to protect against coronavirus spreading.
There will also be a reduced menu to ensure social distancing in kitchens and workspaces.
Greggs warned sales are likely to remain subdued as the chain copes with fewer customers allowed in stores at any one time, following a series of small-scale trials near its offices.
As a result of the expected fall in sales, an unspecified proportion of staff “will remain furloughed until sales levels begin returning to normal”, the company said.
