Greggs makes a huge difference in the borough and we wonder how many of these great scenes you remember.
We have a whole load of memories showing staff and customers on the days they made the Shields Gazette headlines.
The famous food chain has backed the Great North Run, given support to school breakfast clubs, and put its weight behind community groups.
Have a look at these Shields Gazette archive scenes from 2005 to 2020 and see if you can spot someone you know.
Get in touch to tell us about the business or shop you would like us to spotlight in the Shields Gazette retro section.
