Pub chain JD Wetherspoon has put 32 of its pubs up for sale after previously warning that it could face loses of £30 million due to rising staff wages and repairs. The venues are being marketed by commercial property specialists CBRE and Savills.
Wetherspoon spokesman Eddie Gershon said: "On occasion, Wetherspoon does put some of its pubs up for sale. This is a commercial decision. We understand that customers and staff will be disappointed with it.
"The pubs will continue to operate as Wetherspoon outlets until they are sold."
