JD Wetherspoon has made the "commercial decision" to put 32 pubs up for sale. The pub company previously warned it could face losses of £30m due to rising staff wages and repairs.
"On occasion, Wetherspoon does put some of its pubs up for sale," spokesman Eddie Gershon said. "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."
