Wetherspoons, the popular pub chain, is set to close several locations throughout 2025, following a trend initiated in 2023 with prior closures and sales. Currently, two pubs are notably at risk as they are up for sale or under offer, demonstrating the ongoing evaluation of their portfolio. Founder Sir Tim Martin highlighted that a regular review process is essential to assess performance, especially for smaller, older venues. Despite a recovery in sales after the pandemic, the company has already reduced its premises from 950 to around 800, emphasizing strategic decisions on pub management.
Wetherspoons is streamlining its portfolio of pubs, closing older and smaller venues, while keeping an eye on future sales opportunities as part of a strategic review.
Sir Tim Martin noted that the recent closures primarily involved smaller, older pubs or those with nearby alternatives. The company is adapting to changing market demands.
