Full list of Wetherspoons pubs at risk of closing – is your local one of them?
A FURTHER 35 Wetherspoons pubs are at risk of closing – check if yours is on the list.
It comes as the pub chain announced that 11 of its pubs have been sold.
A further eight pubs were confirmed to have been sold yesterday, on top of the three that The Sun previously reported.
Now, Wetherspoons has put a further 35 pubs up for sale.
They will remain open and trading under the Wetherspoon brand until they are sold.
Several pubs in London are set to be sold, including boozers in popular locations such as Islington and Battersea.
While other pubs in major towns and cities such as Southampton and Middlesbrough are also up for sale.
Pubs have been knocked by a cocktail of cost increases as inflation sends prices soaring and less demand among cash-strapped punters.
The pub chain saw like-for-like sales drop 1.1% in the five weeks to November 6, 2022 when compared with pre-pandemic trading in 2019.
But sellers are struggling to find buyers for some of the locations, according to the FT.
Wetherspoons’s chief executive Tim Martin said the sale had been affected in part by worsening economic conditions.
