Carrs Pasties: Bury store opening date and times confirmed

Bolton-based Carrs Pasties is expanding beyond its hometown and opening a new shop in Bury town centre, located between The Rock and The Mill Gate Shopping Centre.

Carrs Pasties Bury Bakehouse will be the company’s first shop outside Bolton.

The new store had initially planned a ‘soft launch’ on Wednesday (March 18), but a spokesperson at the store told the Bury Times that this could not take place.

However, a grand opening on Saturday, March 21, is still taking place and was confirmed by the bakery on Thursday.

The company says the first 100 customers to visit on the day will receive a free pasty.

The Bury store’s opening hours will be from Wednesday to Saturday between 10am and 4pm, but these may change over time.

Joe Carr, Managing Director at Carrs Pasties, said: “We’re really looking forward to being part of the Bury community.

“It feels like a natural step as we branch out of Bolton, and it’s been great to see the response so far from customers who are ready to welcome us into the town.

“It’s a really exciting time for Carrs Pasties and we can’t wait to open the doors!”

The Bury location will serve the full range of pastry products, including the classic Meat & Potato Pasty, Cheese Pasty, Steak Pasty, Cheese & Jalapeño Pasty, Chicken Curry Pasty, Classic Vegetable Pasty, Sausage Rolls and Lancashire Potato Hash, along with cakes and hot drinks.

Sandwiches and salads will be introduced to the range at the store in Bury at a later date, along with a Click & Collect service and delivery platforms.

This will be the fifth Carrs Pasties shop with The Original Shop on Halliwell Road opening back in 1938, followed by the Bakery Shop on Manchester Road, which is also home to Pasty HQ where products are made.

The Market Place Shop opened in 2016, and the Middlebrook Store followed in 2023.

The family-owned bakery business has over 80 years of heritage and serves customers across the north-west and beyond.

Frozen products can be ordered nationwide via a delivery service, and a catering service is offered locally for fresh from the oven products.
