JD Wetherspoon has put 32 of its pubs up for sale, including one in Merseyside.
As reported by Stoke-on-Trent Live, the pub chain has made a 'commercial decision' after previously warning it could face losses of £30 million due to rising staff wages and repairs. The list of pubs put up for sale include The John Masefield in New Ferry on Wirral. The venues are being marketed by commercial property specialists CBRE and Savills.
JD 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."
