Cornwall's only Greggs store closed months ago and people haven't really noticed.

The bakery at Carkeel Roundabout, Saltash, quietly opened in September 2018.

At the time, people in the area said it opened to 'no fanfare' and after two weeks of trading it still didn't appear on Greggs' website store locator section.

Until then Greggs had never ventured into the the Cornish pasty's homeland.

And now it has been confirmed that the store closed four months ago, just as quietly as it opened.

A spokesperson for Greggs, said: "We confirm that following a thorough review, the Greggs at Saltash Service Station closed on 12 September 2019.

"We continue to look for new opportunity sites across the South West of England as part of our long-term plans."

A few people who noticed commented the news on social media.

James Hankins posted on Facebook: "Greggs has left Cornwall! Not sure when, probably around a month ago. They left quicker than they arrived!

"They didnt even last a year at Saltash!"

Coinneach Gobha wrote on the In Saltash Community Group: "Closed down, nobody really knew it was there."

Shaun Norman added: "It was just stupid to open one in Cornwall anyway. It’s obvious that Cornish people will use Cornish bakery’s where they can get a Cornish pasty rather than the shit pasty slice from Greggs. They were never going to survive here."
