JD Wetherspoon announce 2013 expansion plans
Pub chain JD Wetherspoons has revealed plans to open 30 new pubs across the UK in 2013.
The move is estimated to create 1,200 jobs, and the new pubs will add to Wetherspoon’s current portfolio of 866 outlets.
Wetherspoon chairman Tim Martin said: “We are looking forward to opening the new pubs, many of which will be in areas where Wetherspoon is not yet represented. We are also pleased to be creating so many new jobs, especially during a recession.
“There is no question that we would open more pubs and create more jobs in 2013 if the increasing tax burden on pubs was reduced.”
