Yes, it's in the eating out bit - hopefully it will be open in time for the festive bakes season (my favourite christmas shopping tradition)

Makes sense, footfall must be fairly high and there is a lot of retail/council staff nearby for the lunch trade although it will be interesting to see the effect this has long term on the other 2 gregg's.

In the eating out bit where Nandos is? It's definitely in the shop bit next to Vision Express
either that or the shop fitters have made a massive mistake..... Can't comment on the festive bakes as I never stray from the sausage rolls.... I'd heard rumours a couple of times, away from this forum. First time I didn't believe it. Second time was just this last week and very credible. A unit has been fitted out with all the necessary pasty warmer-uppers. Glad they've fitted a door to the unit in the last week as it was going to be very difficult to get in! They've split a larger unit and there was only one door for two units!

To clarify @Wormella meant that the topic of Greggs opening had already been discussed yesterday "in the eating out bit", meaning the thread dedicated to watering holes and eating out in Stafford.

I think I was being a bit optimistic thinking it was the frame for a stud wall yesterday. It appears to be an overly elaborate contraption to stand a card stand in front of, so yep guess it's a Christmas shop!

My first thoughts were to agree with you - that maybe Greggs-related stuff should go in the "Pubs and Eating Out" thread. But then I thought, if you'd arranged to have lunch with your new boyfriend/girlfriend in Greggs, they're not likely to be too impressed.
Greggs primarily sell food - hey, they even provide a few tables where you can eat it - so maybe they should stay in the shops opening/closing threads like any other commodity. They're a shop rather than an eating or drinking establishment.

It's all a grey area - should the supermarket cafés be in Eating Out?
Some flexibility has to be accepted, I feel.

No, I don't think they will - substantial queues in both of them yesterday and there's a pretty captive market of office & shop workers at Riverside.
