JD Wetherspoon has 809 pubs in the UK as of September 2024 — but this number could soon decline
Some Wetherspoons pubs in the UK are up for sale, and if no buyer is found, additional venues may reportedly be forced to close.
The chain, also known as “Spoons”, has 809 pubs in the UK as of September 2024.
But it announced the closure of 40 of its pubs in 2022. Now the pub chain has reportedly put 17 up for sale, 14 of which are under offer.
“Under offer” means a buyer has made an offer that the seller is considering.
The Mirror reported the commercial retail estate firms, CBRE Group and Savills, manage some of the pubs’ sales and have detailed them on their websites.
But the sales are not guaranteed and the pubs would continue operating if they fall through. However, they are reportedly likely to close soon and be repurposed or open as a bar again under new management.
JD Wetherspoon said in May it had sold 18 pubs or surrendered them to the landlord so far this year. These include London’s The Knights Templar, The Coronet, and The Miller’s Well.
The Sun reported that the closures were due to the cost of living crisis, which has affected the prices of ingredients and operations.
One fortunate bar saved from closure after being put up for sale in February 2024 is The Thomas Drummond in Fleetwood, Lancashire.
The Evening Standard has approached JD Wetherspoon for comment.
Here is a comprehensive list of Wetherspoon locations that may permanently close their doors and turn off their taps.
