Sausage Snack ATMs

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Greggs and Monzo Created a Sausage Roll-Dispensing Machine

— July 22, 2024 — Lifestyle
British bakery chain Greggs and Monzo, the award-winning mobile banking app, launched a pop-up ATMmm on Grainger Street to celebrate their new partnership. With this ongoing partnership, Monzo Perks and Max subscribers can claim a free weekly sausage roll, donut or hot drink from the retailer. The cash machine in Newcastle distributing sausage rolls from Greggs went live in mid-July and users didn't need their PIN to claim a free pastry treat from the ATMmm.

Charming consumers with unexpected convenience and a delightfully fresh surprise, the machine not only provides a novel experience but also caters to consumer demand for on-the-go accessibility.

In 2023, Greggs launched another food-themed collaboration with Primark, Bistro Greggs.
