Birds Bakery has announced it will be opening the doors of their Gedling borough stores on Sundays – starting from this weekend.
The bakery chain said the new Sunday openings will also give people greater flexibility to enjoy a wide range of pastries, cream cakes, savoury treats and more, on any day of the week.
In addition to customer convenience, bakery bosses hope to ‘make the high street great again’.
Sunday store openings will begin on Sunday, September 15 at its Arnold, Mapperley and Teal Park sites.
The new opening hours will create over 70 additional jobs across the stores, bakery, and dispatch operations.
Jamie Bird, director of Strategy at Birds, commented on the new opening hours: “We’re thrilled to be opening our bakery doors on Sundays to provide our customers with even more opportunities to enjoy our products.
“With more shops extending their trading hours to include Sundays, we wanted to ensure our customers can shop with us if they are out and about. Our hope is that by being open every day of the week, we can contribute to making the high street a vibrant and bustling place once again.”
In addition to the new schedule, Birds is introducing a new lunch range. Among the highlights are a vegetarian lemon and herb hummus with a crunchy slaw multiseed baton, a continental-style salami and Emmental multiseed baton, a Red Leicester and caramelised onion chutney chia sandwich, and a hummus and falafel salad bowl joining the salad range.
