The new-build Greggs drive-thru will sit adjacent to the Costa Coffee drive-thru which opened in December 2020 as part of the roadside element of the groundbreaking development.
Integra 61 is the largest logistics and manufacturing opportunity in the North East in a generation and is home to Amazon’s new 2 million sq ft Fulfilment Centre which is fully operational with some 1,000 employees on site.

The 205 acre site, which has the potential to create 4,000 jobs and add £2 billion to the regional economy over the next 10 years, will also create some 300 new homes, a 70-bed hotel, family pub/restaurant, vehicle dealerships and a number of trade counter/retail units.
Citrus Durham will be commencing development on the Greggs unit later this year with the unit expected to open for business early 2022.
David Cullingford, Project Lead for Integra 61 and Citrus Durham, said;

With the high volume of Amazon workers, drive-thru customers and the homeowners all bringing life to Integra 61, we are excited to be discussing options with a number of parties for the remaining widespread opportunities from industrial units to trade counter units and showrooms in addition to a nursery and hotel.”
Roisin Currie, Retail and Property Director for Greggs, said: “Our new drive-thru site in County Durham will provide customers with a modern and convenient new place to experience all their Greggs favourites on-the-go.”
Greggs opened its first North East drive-thru in its birthplace of Newcastle in 2019 and it has been reported that the drive-thru format is a key growth area for the popular chain.
