Wetherspoon scraps Jersey plan
Managed pub operator JD Wetherspoon (JDW) has scrapped plans to open its first Channel Islands outlet.
It had planned to open on the site of a former Chicago Rock bar at the Waterfront in Saint Helier, Jersey, and last week was understood to be nearing site completion.
JDW pulled out of a licensing hearing last Wednesday, saying it planned to re-apply at a later date.
But spokesman Eddie Gershon said: "JDW has now decided against looking to open in Jersey for the foreseeable future as it wants to concentrate on its pubs on the mainland."
