BrewDog will close 10 bars, including its flagship location in Aberdeen, due to challenges in the pub and restaurant environment. Chief Executive James Taylor communicated to staff that maintaining these venues was no longer viable because of their size and location. The closures are a decision to refocus the bar division rather than just a reaction to the tough UK hospitality market. The impacted staff will undergo a consultation process, which aims to redeploy many affected team members within BrewDog's network.
James Taylor, chief executive of BrewDog, announced the closure of 10 bars, including the flagship location in Aberdeen, due to viability issues related to size and location.
Despite efforts to keep the bars operational, BrewDog concluded that there was no realistic prospect of making them commercially viable, leading to their impending closure.
The closures, part of a broader strategy to redefine the bar division's focus, will be implemented on Saturday with ongoing consultation for affected staff.
BrewDog, founded in 2006, has expanded significantly but now must face challenges within the UK hospitality market amid rising cost pressures.
