Primark has announced that it is opening more Greggs cafes throughout many of its stores.
This comes as other locations such as the stores in Birmingham and Oxford Street East enjoy cafes already open to the public.
With the success of these, the brands have moved forward in their plans to see this partnership go further.
The two brands are not shy about working together with Primark stocking Greggs merchandise for die-hard sausage roll and steak bake fans across the country.

This fashionable range includes hats, hoodies, t-shirts and sausage roll socks and underwear.
Last year, the pair even revealed festive-themed items for fans to wear.
Tony Rowson, property director at Greggs, said: “We’re thrilled with the success of our partnership with Primark to date – ranging from three iconic fashion collections to now three brilliant ‘Tasty by Greggs’ cafes.
"We’re constantly on the lookout for new ways to inspire and excite our customers and we’re looking forward to extending our partnership to new locations later this year.”

Greggs to trial 24-hour drive-thru amid extended opening hours
Greggs, which has been in operation since 1939, reported a jump in sales in 2022.
Sales are up from £1.2 billion in 2021 to £1.5bn in 2022, marking an upward trend for the brand.
With this success, Greggs is expanding its opening hours, opening new stores and is set to trial a drive-thru service for those on the move.
Greggs has announced that it will open 150 new stores across the UK this year, saying there is a "clear opportunity" to have more than 3,000 locations.
The chain already has around 2,330 stores after opening a record 186 shops last year while closing 39.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
