A GREGGS store in Bournemouth closed suddenly yesterday due to unexplained "issues".

A handwritten notice taped to the door of the Old Christchurch Road store initially read: “Dear customers, we apologise for any inconvenience this may cause but we are closed until further notice. Thank you for your understanding. – Greggs.”

The Daily Echo contacted the bakery chain for a comment, but a spokesperson has not yet confirmed the reason for the closure.

However, the shelves had been cleared and workmen could be seen inside the store early Saturday afternoon.

The windows have since been covered up, with an updated notice stating: "Due to issues we are having to close today and tomorrow [...] and will be open as quickly as possible."
