UK's Greggs first-half profit up 20% as grocery business grows LONDON, July 29 (Reuters) - Greggs GRG.L, Britain's biggest fast food chain, on Wednesday reported a 20% rise in first-half profit, reflecting growth in its grocery business, strong cost control and a weak performance in the same period last year.
The group, best known for its sausage rolls, steak and chicken bakes, vegan alternatives and sweet treats, said its expectations for the full-year outcome were unchanged.
