JD Wetherspoon has announced it will put seven more of its pubs up for sale taking the total of affected venues this year to 39. The pub group confirmed it would sell off 32 of its pubs in September, including one venue near Bristol.
Wetherspoons said it was facing losses of up to £30 million and rising costs in part due to repairs to its pubs, higher wages and food. It also said it would pay an extra £10 million in interest over the next year as a result of higher rates.
On Thursday (November 10), a spokesperson for the group confirmed seven more would be sold too. Wetherspoons has not yet said where the affected venues are in the most recent decision.
