A new Greggs is set to open next to the Norwich City football ground in Riverside.

The popular high-street bakery chain is expected to move into Unit 2B on Albion Way at the Riverside retail park. 

A planning application for Greggs' distinctive blue, white and orange signage has been lodged with Norwich Council.

The Greggs advertisement will be above the Costa Coffee sign, in place of the old Carphone Warehouse shop frontage.
