Wetherspoons boss hints at European expansion to popular holiday destinations like Mallorca and Benidorm The budget pub chain could appear in beloved Mediterranean holiday spots, says boss.
The news comes after JD Wetherspoon announced four more pubs on Haven holiday parks following a successful franchise with the holiday park operator in Primrose Valley on the North Yorkshire coastline.
Popular British holiday destinations in the Mediterranean, such as Mallorca, Benidorm and Alicante, where the brand is well known, would “make sense” for the company’s first foray into Europe, he said.
In a statement to The Independent, Wetherspoon spokesman Eddie Gershon added: “Wetherspoon believes that there are opportunities to open its pubs in overseas airports that are popular with British holidaymakers.
Sir Tim Martin, founder and CEO of the budget pub chain, has floated plans to expand operations overseas in the next year, following a string of successful partnerships in the UK.
