Pub group JD Wetherspoon has revealed that it is looking for additional development sites in the Republic of Ireland to expand its business in the country.
Speaking to The Irish Independent, Wetherspoon founder and chairman Tim Martin said, "We are looking at further sites across the Republic of Ireland. Hopefully, our investment will act as a catalyst for other businesses to invest in the respective areas where we are opening."
Current Plans
At present, Wetherspoon is planning to open a new 89-bedroom hotel and pub on Dublin's Camden Street by July of this year as well as a new pub called South Strand on the capital's Hanover Quay later this year and a pub along Broad Street and Arundel Square in Waterford called Arundel Gate, which is also due to open by July. The company is also currently planning to open a new pub in Galway in 2021.
