In the News - Pubs
Five pubs closing everyday
According to the Beer and Pub Association for the first half of 2008 36 pubs closed every week. This equates to 5 per day and represents a large increase from 4 per day for 2007 as reported 'In the News' 10 April. Pubs have been suffering from rising energy costs, the smoking ban and competitive discounting by the supermarkets. Research suggests that supermarkets are selling beer cheaper than pubs are paying for wholesale (reported 'In the News' 9 January).
