The company last operated shops abroad in Belgium in 2008. The new outlet at Tenerife South Airport will be located in the international departures area and will stock a range of bakes, rolls and sweet treats as well as freshly-made sandwiches.
A Spanish omelette roll will be available on the breakfast menu alongside freshly squeezed orange juice prepared and bottled in the shop daily. The company said this would give customers a refreshing taste of island life.

Airport welcomes around 13 million holidaymakers every year, with about half flying to and from the UK. The company described the location as the perfect way to round off a trip without breaking the bank and the ideal place to test overseas expansion.
The shop will also offer seating for up to 92 customers. It will open in partnership with Lagardere Travel Retail, which operates more than 5,000 stores in airports, railway stations and other locations in over 50 countries worldwide. Greggs chief executive Roisin Currie said the airport is a hub for millions of UK and international passengers each year.
