Pub chain JD Wetherspoon has put 32 of its pubs up for sale, including one in Nottinghamshire. The company has previously warned that it faces losses of £30m due to rising staff wages and repairs.
The pubs, a mix of ten freehold and 22 leasehold units, are based in town and city centre locations across England and are being considered for sale either individually, in small packages or as a portfolio.
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."
