World's largest Greggs set to open in Primark as they launch tasty new fashion line
Greggs and Primark have teamed up to bring Brits an epic clothing and food collaboration which will see them create the world's largest Greggs café in-store.
Move aside Ant and Dec, there's a new duo in town - after a weekend of bizarre clothing displays on mannequins at a number of Primark stores where Vegan Sausage rolls and Steak Bakes popped up - a new partnership has been announced between budget fashion retailer Primark and popular pastry bakery Greggs which sells baked goods with a secret code.
The campaign, which comes after Greggs announced it was opening new drive thru's across the UK, kicked off with both Greggs and Primark teasing the new clothing range with a video launch that explained, "For the very first time, fashion has a new flavour. As two high street icons collide, bringing the ultimate tasty experience and the world's most Instagrammable Greggs."
The selling point behind the move to mix food with fashion is behind the slogan, "One does tidy food, one does tidy fashion. Together we're unstoppable. because looking this good is tasty work."
What is the new Greggs clothing range?
The new Greggs and Primark limited-edition clothing range will launch in Primark stores on 19th February 2022. The 11-piece clothing collection will be available to buy in 60 Primark stores across the UK from Saturday, February 19.
It's understood that more details of what will be included in the range will be shared leading up to the launch date.
The exclusive range will be a first for Greggs in its 83-year history as it finally puts its name officially to clothing and accessories.
