Famous Pub Company: not so well known
Article Abstract:
Famous Pub Company is a UK pub operator which is seeking to expand to 100 outlets. The company has acquired pubs from Whitbread after four years of leasing them. The 1989 UK Beer Orders led to sales of pubs by brewers and the rise of companies such as the Famous Pub Company. The company is seeking to increase sales by 100%, achieving 4.1 million pounds sterling by 1998. Shares in this company could be a good investment if targets are achieved, but not all the pubs have yet been bought.

Honeycombe goes down a treat
Article Abstract:
Honeycombe Leisure is a pubs operator which started to trade on the Alternative Investment Market in Nov 1998 and is carrying out an expansion plan. The company selects individual pubs near the corporate headquarters in Preston, England. There is no single theme so opening costs can be kept at a low level.
