(Alliance News) - JD Wetherspoon PLC on Tuesday rejected a news report stating that the company was selling 15 pubs.
The Watford-based pub operator said the Daily Mail article "Wetherspoons Is Getting Rid Of 15 Pubs When The Chain Reopens For Business On Super Saturday" contained incorrect information.
The news article was published on Thursday last week but has now been removed.
The company clarified that the 15 pubs in question were put on the market in April 2019, of which five were sold and eight were withdrawn from the market. Two of the pubs are still on the market.
Wetherspoon shares were down 0.8% at 1,009.00 pence on Tuesday morning in London.
