A few of JD Wetherspoons‘ pubs within the UK are up on the market, and if no purchaser is discovered, extra venues could reportedly be compelled to shut.
The chain, also called “Spoons”, has 809 pubs within the UK as of September 2024.
“Underneath provide” means a purchaser has made a proposal that the vendor is contemplating.
The Mirror reported the business retail property corporations, CBRE Group and Savills, handle among the pubs’ gross sales and have detailed them on their web sites.
However the gross sales usually are not assured and the pubs would proceed working in the event that they fall via. Nevertheless, they’re reportedly prone to shut quickly and be repurposed or open as a bar once more below new administration.
