Discover pub franchises for sale

Pubs are the hub of the local community — a relaxed place where people can get together to socialise and enjoy a drink and a bite to eat. With many interesting bar and pub franchises for sale, this could be your next big business opportunity.

The local pub or bar is an institution. While independent pub numbers have been falling in recent years, chains have found success plugging the gap and providing a much-needed watering hole and social space for people in their local area.

If you want to start a business that provides a great atmosphere and attracts loyal clientele, starting a bar or pub franchise is a great bet. You will benefit from a recognised name and your franchise partner organisation may even help you to identify potential sites for your business.

Coyote Ugly is a picture-perfect opportunity

Fancy running a business that is already globally famous? Coyote Ugly opened in 1993 in New York City.

While we can’t promise that Tyra Banks will be dropping by anytime soon, Coyote Ugly Saloon provides a famous name that will help bring the punters in — your business savvy will keep them there.

The Germans are famous for beer — and not only during Oktoberfest. You can keep the spirit going with your own Bavarian Beerhouse franchise.

If you’re a fan of beer and want to bring a proven brand to your local area, this could be the franchise opportunity for you.

If you want to bring this iconic chain to your local area, you’ll need at least £800,000 to get started.

Introduce a taste of la dolce vita with a Veeno franchise

Choose between their “Be The Boss” and “Joint Venture” structures to join the Veeno family.
