The King & Queen in Warrington, Cheshire has received a £340,000 refurbishment inside and out to become a Nest Pub.
These sites are wet-led, located on high streets and within communities, aiming to offer great value, an excellent experience alongside regular sports and entertainment.
Each venue has its own identity and feel, in line with the concept while serving a range of drinks alongside easy-to-serve pizza and Pie Minister ‘Handy Pies’.
Additionally, each Nest Pub has Sky Sports and TNT Sports subscriptions as well as a regular calendar of entertainment.
Popular concept
A franchisee can take over a franchise pub from £3,000 ingoing cost with earnings based on a percentage of food and drink sales.
On the latest opening, Greene King Pub Partners managing director Dan Robinson said: “We’re delighted to have opened our 10th Nest Pub, less than a year after we launched this new franchise concept.
“As a wet-led pub concept with a simple but quality food offer, Nest Pubs is proving popular with franchise operators and customers alike.
“Alongside supporting our core leased and tenanted partners, we’ll continue to grow our franchise business through Nest Pubs and Hive Pubs this year. Watch this space for more openings.”
The King & Queen will be operated by franchisee Michaela Goodier who has worked in pubs all her life.
Expansion plans
She said: “I am thrilled to step up and run my own pub business as a Nest Pubs franchisee.
“The franchise agreement and Nest Pubs concept provide me with a ready-to-trade business and full support from Greene King.”
Nest is the second franchise from Greene King Pub Partners, following the launch of Hive in 2021 and now operates 59 sites.
Earlier this month (February), it was announced Greene King Pub Partners was planning to expand its Hive and Nest Pubs.
The franchise concepts are set to to be rolled out in Scotland under the umbrella of Belhaven Pub Partners.
