Bar operators, Maclay Inns have had another busy month as they continue their investment and work towards overhauling a number of bars across Scotland.
This time around they have bought Flanagans Bar in Prestwick town centre. The bar was on the market earlier this year after going into administration, with Maclays identifying it as ideal for their estate, buying it through their Thistle Pub Company.
Managing director of Maclays, Steve Mallon said, “We believe Flanagans will be a valuable addition to the Thistle Pub Company estate. We intend to run the business in its existing format over the short term and undertake a comprehensive refurbishment during the first quarter of 2014.”
And the company’s investment doesn’t stop there, after taking charge of an outlet on Clerk Street, Edinburgh. Although licensed previously, the venue had been closed prior to the acquisition, with Maclays confirming an investment of around £400,000.
