The bakery chain opened 36 new bakeries during the year to 28 February 2025, including its first in the south west of England, with a plan to continue wider national growth in the year ahead.
The business will look to open a similar number of sites each years in the short term and grow its footprint within the UK.
Gail’s reports revenue growth of 22% to £220m in 2025 for the period although operating margin and gross profit margin both fell slightly due to increased staff and utilities costs. Group sales including wholesale were £278m, up from £231m the previous year.
EBITDA grew by 20% to £51m, up from £43m but losses increased to £10.3m, up from £4m the previous year.
The group says that its retail bakery business continues to be its fastest growing and more profitable part.
