Companies strike World Cup gold
Article Abstract:
The 1998 World Cup will affect business in a number of ways, especially since soccer has become increasingly popular. Sports wear retailers such as JJB Sports and Blacks Leisure are likely to benefit. Sales of related computer games and books may also rise. Demand for electricity in the United Kingdom is likely to be affected by TV showings of the matches. Some companies will lose out, such as JD Weatherspoon, which owns 238 pubs, none of which has a TV set installed.
