英国最大的酒吧运营商Stonegate集团正在考虑以高达10亿英的价格出售其4300个酒吧中的约1000个,主要是高性能的"金"酒店,以解决其2019年Ei集团合并和持续的财务压力造成的30亿英以上的债务.
Stonegate Group, the UK’s largest pub operator, is considering selling around 1,000 of its 4,300 venues—primarily high-performing "platinum" sites—for up to £1 billion to address over £3 billion in debt from its 2019 Ei Group merger and ongoing financial pressures.
这项行动是在2023年的销售尝试失败之后进行的,作为6.38亿阿波罗贷款的无通话期,于1月结束,从而有了新的选择。

No closures are planned, and the company continues operations normally, having already listed 23 pubs for sale.
造成财政紧张的原因是大流行的后果、高利率、能源和劳动力成本上升以及2024年损失2.14亿英镑。
The financial strain stems from pandemic fallout, high interest rates, rising energy and labor costs, and a £214 million loss in 2024.
该公司还正在转向租赁和租赁模式,以提高盈利能力。
