I have recorded another episode of The Private Investor’s Podcast with my good friend Mark Atkinson. We talked about Greggs and the investment potential of sausage rolls:
We cover:
- Mark buying more at £18.
- How Greggs can survive the upcoming recession.
- The superfans.
- Financial history.
- Productivity improvements and revenue per store.
- History of family management/Ian Gregg.
- Importance of staff to retailers.
- The new CEO.
- The 5-year plan and future growth prospects.
- The cost of the 5-year plan.
- Director option targets.
- August’s H1 results and small-print.
- Valuation.
- Closing thoughts and wrap-up.
Happy listening!

Fascinating discussion! I am a cautious holder and holding faith in its track record. I wouldn’t say competition is weak, McDonald’s and Pret have grand expansion plans particularly out of London and would say are better for your evening fare
Thanks Max. I guess I was comparing Greggs with smaller operators, who may be finding the going tough at present. I am not convinced about the company’s plan for evening sales. And good point with MCD and Pret, who are not going to sit back.
