BAKERY chain Greggs is set to open a new shop in Blackburn.

The firm has invested more than £100,000 in the new outlet, in King William Street, which will create 10 new jobs.

Greggs area sales manager Pauline Bowker said: "The new shop is an exciting addition. It is a key area for us and we're delighted its popularity is going from strength to strength. We knew the town needed another shop to service the community and we will also be opening on Sundays."

Greggs has more than 137 shops in the North West, and already has a branch in Blackburn, in Market Street.
