Wetherspoons sales growth slowed slightly in the second quarter but still remained solid with robust trading over the key Christmas period. It's a delicate balance.
Tim Martin, businessman and the founder and chairman of Wetherspoons, stated: "The gradual recovery in sales and profits, following the pandemic, has continued in the current financial year." This indicates a trend towards better performance despite many closures.
JD Wetherspoon is set to open The Lion & The Unicorn at Waterloo station on 3 September, following a £2.8 million investment, creating 70 jobs.
