Job Details

Pub Overview

Community pub with sports and events. What would you do with this pub to make it even more of a success?

The Shoemakers is a fantastic opportunity to build on a well-established wet-led offer. With strong ties to the local community and a loyal customer base, the pub is ideal for someone who understands the area and can continue to deliver a welcoming, inclusive experience. Sports viewing and pub teams are central to its identity, and there’s scope to enhance the function room offering and outdoor trade.

The Area:

The Shoemakers is located in the Braunstone, residential community in Leicester, close to the ring road and adjacent to an industrial estate. It backs onto Sharmon Crescent, home to a local post office and Co-Op supermarket, attracting regular passing trade.

Demographics:

The pub is one of the few wet-led venues in the Braunstone area, serving a diverse adult population. The customer base includes sports fans, families, and local residents who value a traditional pub atmosphere.

The Offer:

Available on our foundation tenancy agreement. Click here for more information on this agreement. The potential of this pub lies in maintaining a strong wet-led community offer with live sports, pub games, and local events. The site currently drives trade via sports viewing, darts and pool teams, and its function room. It offers a selection of beers, spirits, and soft drinks.

We’re always open to new ideas-what would you do to drive trade?

Operator Profile:

Attitude is more valuable than experience. If you’ve got the following, we’d love to hear from you:
  • Understanding of the local community
  • You know what it takes to build a successful business
  • You love hospitality and are great with customers.
If this sounds like the incredible pub opportunity you’ve been waiting for, apply today and tell us what you can bring to this pub’s next chapter...
