Re: Weatherspoons Pub coming to Accy???
 
Surely, the popularity of places like Imposta and Divine have proved that there's a market in Accrington for an outlet of this type?

Yes, but I fear there is only so much custom to go around........and people usually stay loyal to the places they know - especially when they have had good service........and that service is provided by local people, rather than a huge franchise(OK so it might be run by a local person, but the branding is a huge company with branches on many high streets).........I will wait and see.

I've been on the new pubs section of Wetherspoons website and there's nothing listed for Accrington as yet.

Probably be open backend of summer early autumn.

Well the old "Regency" signage has come down as of today so looks like the new owners can't wait to spent the alleged £1.4 million doing it up!
What on earth can you spend that kind of money on?

Wonder if it will revert to " The Commercial" or have a new name?

anyhoo, welcome Wetherspoons, it's good news I think, and will give The Calder a bit of competiton.:mosher:

It's in a prime spot. Opposite the bus station on Peel Street and the market. I think it will be a goldmine.

We could do with some decent pubs in Accrington.

I think like most franchises, it will only be as good as the people who run it.
Saying all Wetherspoons are crap is like saying all Thwaites pubs are rubbish.
The acid test will be whether the folk of Accy go in and part with their hard earned shekels.
