Builders Arms, Swansea - Swansea
Community Wet Partnership
Overview: The Builders Arms is a traditional two-door, wet-led pub situated on Oxford Street in the heart of Swansea city centre. Currently achieving estimated weekly sales of approximately £3,000, with a 100% wet sales mix, the pub benefits from a combination of loyal local customers, daytime drinkers and passing city-centre trade. With strong footfall and plenty of personality, this is an exciting opportunity for the right operator to put their own stamp on the business and develop it into a thriving city-centre local.
The Business: The Builders Arms is a traditional one-bar operation with an established customer base and several different reasons to visit. The pub benefits from Sky Sports, dedicated darts and pool facilities, a small trading kitchen and an additional upstairs area.
Key strengths include its central Swansea location, established local trade and the opportunity to develop live sport, competitive games and entertainment to drive additional visits throughout the week.
The Opportunity: The next Pub Partner has the opportunity to build on the pub's established foundations and create a stronger, more vibrant wet-led business.
The strongest growth priorities are:
Maximising Sky Sports and live sporting occasions to increase bar sales.
Developing darts and pool and building regular team activity.
Creating events and entertainment during quieter midweek trading sessions.
Capitalising on Swansea's daytime and passing footfall and converting more customers into loyal regulars.
Using local marketing and social media to build the pub's profile and communicate regular reasons to visit.
There is also potential to make use of the small kitchen for occasional food and buffet opportunities, adding another reason for customers and groups to choose the pub.
Who We're Looking For: We're looking for an enthusiastic, community-minded operator, couple or team who can become the face of The Builders Arms and create a welcoming city-centre pub where customers want to return time and again.
You'll need great hospitality skills, strong standards and the confidence to lead from the front. An understanding of wet-led pubs, live sport, entertainment and local marketing would be particularly beneficial.
This could be a fantastic opportunity for an experienced pub operator looking for their next challenge, or someone with strong hospitality experience who is ready to take the next step and run their own pub business.
What's in it for you? 20% share of weekly wet sales excluding VAT, and keep 100% of any food sales. Low ingoing costs start with a £5,000 deposit and £360 legal cost. Separate owner's accommodation is included, with most bills covered except council tax and TV Licence.
Ready to Take the Next Step? Run The Builders Arms and put your own stamp on a traditional Swansea pub, growing its reputation for live sport, darts, pool, entertainment and brilliant local hospitality.
