JD Wetherspoon has reported that its sales have surpassed pre-pandemic levels for the first time, following a challenging five years for the hospitality sector.
The company announced yesterday morning that revenues at its 794 pubs have increased by 5.1% year-to-date, placing the chain’s growth above the industry average.
“Sales volumes, which were very slow post-pandemic, have recently overtaken pre-pandemic levels,” stated chair Tim Martin.
He added that wine sales have shown strong growth and spirits, particularly whisky, are significantly above pre-pandemic levels.
