England Hub
England is set to face Mexico in a high-stakes match, and to show support, Greggs is temporarily pulling its Mexican chicken sandwich range. The decision comes ahead of the match on Sunday night.
What happened?
Greggs will remove the Mexican chicken baguette, Mexican chicken oval bite, and Mexican chicken flatbread from selected shops in England. The items will be unavailable on Sunday.
Why it matters for England
The move is a tactical one, with Greggs recognizing that England's neighbors may have alternative football loyalties this weekend. Greggs shops in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland will continue to stock the items.
What comes next?
The Mexican chicken lineup will return to Greggs' starting on Monday morning. Zoe Harris, customer director at Greggs, said the decision was made to recognize the England team's progress through the tournament.
