Make your dreams of operating a pub a reality

This PDF, which is sponsored by Star Pubs & Bars, is a guide to the market you will be stepping into and how you can run a pub yourself. As The Morning Advertiser editor Ed Bedington says, “the pub property market is always a dynamic space” and adds that after a difficult period, the opportunities are there for those who have the ambition and although it can be challenging, it is extremely rewarding as well.

Topics covered in the guide include an overview of the sector and how the ‘post-Covid bounce’ is likely to affect the future; the huge number of types of agreement that can be taken on by an incoming or experienced operator; and whether it’s your first or fourth site, there’s advice on how to go about taking your next step into the pub game.

We look at how operators used the time during lockdowns to improve their sites inside and outside meaning if you landed an upgraded site, the rest of the work could be as simple as you using your creative juices to bring people into the great British pub and ensure that timeless buzz of an amazing atmosphere coupled with drinks, food and entertainment is kept alive.

And even if you think the costs of entering the sector are prohibitive, think again, Star Pubs & Bars is one pub company that could have you running a property in its Just Add Talent scheme for an outlay of just £4,000. If you are already a savvy licensee, you may be in a position to put more money into a new business and potentially work out a deal where you have greater authority over what you sell and how you run the pub.

So what if this isn’t your first rodeo? Going multiple could be the way forward for you and our guide, titled Piece Together Your Dream Pub Empire​ has tips from those in the trade who have been there and done that and can tell you that you will have to make a mindset change in terms of being able to trust someone else to do things you used to take care of when you only had a single site.
