Signature Pubs has reported a 7% increase in like-for-like sales in December. The company, which is owned by Nic Wood (pictured) and operates 21 sites in Scotland, saw the rise in seasonal sales despite deciding to close all its venues on Christmas Day.
Signature opened its largest venue to date for its Cold Town Beer brewhouse brand – Cold Town House in Edinburgh’s Grassmarket – while this year Signature has already transformed a bank branch at Holy Corner in Edinburgh into McLaren’s On The Corner, which features a bar and all-day dining.
In 2018, Signature Pubs paid £8.4m to acquire seven sites from bar and restaurant operator Speratus Group.
