'Screening For My Next Long-Term Winner: Greggs'

OTOH animal feeds are now being used which generate much less methane. I hope Giles is taking vitamin B12 with folate or at least having his levels checked.

Now that vegan food is being widely offered, will Greggs still continue to shine as brightly and lead the field?

‘I’ve been living the life of a secret vegan. I’ve been keeping it quiet (which vegans very rarely do)’

For the past three or four months I have been living the life of a secret vegan. I have been keeping it quiet (which vegans very rarely do) in case you thought I wouldn’t be much use as a restaurant critic any more (assuming you thought I ever was), restricted as I now am to ordering from the, ha-ha, rabbit food, wussy, girlie, anorexic, lettuce section of the menu.

But, ultimately, you’re going to have to deal with my veganism and then, I’m afraid, you’re going to have to follow suit. Because if we all keep on eating as much meat as we have been – such that greenhouse gas emissions from animal farming now comprise 51 per cent of the total global output, dwarfing the…

After the roaring success of Greggs in 2019, restaurant groups are jumping on the meat-free bandwagon. Will veganism last longer than Veganuary?

We've taken a closer look:

Greggs vegan sausage roll infant of a store

It takes a feat of marketing brilliance to create an iconic food item – few companies manage it. McDonald’s has its Big Mac, Burger King created the Whopper, Mr Whippy made an ice cream and now Gregg’s has the vegan sausage roll.

Part of the company’s marketing genius was launching the meat-free pastry to coincide with ‘Veganuary’ 2019, when an estimated 250,000 people gave up meat for the month. The fact that Piers Morgan panned the dish to his 7.1m Twitter followers was an unexpected bonus. This month, Greggs (LON: GRG) singled out the vegan sausage roll as the reason for its unprecedented sales growth in 2019. The company’s staff can thank the humble pastry for their £300 bonus which was paid after the company’s profits for 2019 came in well ahead of expectations.

In 2020, Greggs has attempted to repeat its success…

Tried a vegan sausage roll, to see what the hype all about, yuk the taste of salt to me was overwhelming.

[bouleversee] 15/1/2020 19:23

In what way? Any worse than the one linked above? It would seem, however, that their popularity is greater in the North. After all, the Cornish have their own pasties.

Phil, The Times article on this was possibly libellous.

Pasties win in the battle of the bakeries

strong buy, I would be buying at this price. Will see £30 soon.

[bill hickman] 11/1/2020 08:53

At it again Buystock you are a desperate ramper.

[this_time_its_different] 10/1/2020 12:18

I expect a run to £25 to commence soon.

[this_time_its_different] 10/1/2020 12:16

Madness to be shorting Greggs now, Vegan Steak Bake and Vegan Sausage Roll will drive this to £32 this year, mark my words.

[this_time_its_different] 10/1/2020 12:13

STRONG BUY, Price Target £30.
