Two British students, Tom and Milo, took a decision in 2018 to visit every Greggs store in the United Kingdom to try out the famous steak bake or the sausage roll. According to the stores' yearly report, it has a total of 1,950 stores with the corporate website suggesting their plan to have a total of 2,500 stores very soon. 

A country-wide idea to treat their taste buds

One of the students, Tom, said Greggs has always been a store that has been termed as something sacred and defining in the UK. He further added that both him and Milo came up with the "viral" idea to pay a visit to all the Greggs outlets in the summer of 2018 before calculating the total cost they would have to shell out out of their pockets and realized that they would have to visit 5 outlets in a single day to complete their journey in one year and will have to spend a total of £2,000.
