[Heineken is investing £39m in more
than 600 of its pubs in the UK - in a move it
says will bring 62 back from the dead.

The Dutch brewer said the cash injection
into its Star Pubs operation will
create more than 1,000 jobs.

According to Star Pubs, 612 pubs are
set to benefit, with refurbishments focusing
on "transforming tired pubs in suburban
areas into premium locals" as people
commute less to city centres.

This will include "subtle zoning" work
to cater for various customer activities,
such as watching sport and dining.

Two pubs in Essex have already reopened
after works costing £424,000 together,
with another in Bromsgrove,
near Birmingham, set to relaunch later
this month.]

pubs have been closing at the rate of 500 a year since the pandemic, so 62 pubs is nothing

It is a start
from one company, at least

That’s true enough

Maybe others will follow gradually

[Heineken is set to reopen 62 'lost' pubs
across Britain after they were
shut amid the cost-of-living crisis.
The lager giant's retail arm,
Star Pubs & Bars, is planning to
reopen or upgrade more than
600 pubs across the UK in
a £39million expansion in a bid to
attract punters working from home.

The move will include reopening more than
60 pubs in 2024, with 94 other sites set
for refurbishments and the rest set to
receive other varying upgrades.]

…there has to be a certain irony in Brexiting in the hope of ‘making Britain Great again’….and a European company ‘saving our great pubs’….anyways, good luck to this re-opening……I hope they thrive and survive …strangely I watched a movie only a few days ago about the kidnapping of Freddy Heineken…a story that I hadn’t known…

Brexit was never about making Britain great again so that is false you are conflating it with the Trump campaign.

Ironically How to Stop Brexit (And Make Britain Great Again) was a book published by Nick Clegg (remember him a remainer) in 2017
