wetherspoons pub peterborough
There have been many reports relating to the decline in standards of Public Houses across the UK this year and coupled with a fall in trade aided by the financial crisis it has been no surprise to see so many establishments calling time and closing down for good.
Things are slightly different at J D Wetherspoon where the pub operator has announced that it will step up its expansion programme, with the opening of 250 pubs over the next five years.
Along with the new premises Wetherspoon are hoping to create over 10,000 jobs in the UK with new pubs being earmarked in Sheffield, Livingston, Leominster, Otley, New Malden, Liverpool, Haverfordwest and Newcastle.
Wetherspoon reported record sales in the year ending July 2009 and say that they will be investing £250 million to realise their expansion plans in the UK. The group opened 39 pubs in the year to July and is on course for 40 more openings by the same time next year.
Tim Martin, chairman of J D Wetherspoon says: “Our pubs are extremely popular and we wish to build on their success by opening more,”
