RUN THE HOLLY BUSH, WREXHAM
Community Wet Agreement
Overview
The Holly Bush is a well-established community pub located in the village of Cefn-y-Bedd, serving the wider Llay and Wrexham area. Positioned on a busy route connecting Wrexham, Ruthin and Mold, the pub benefits from strong local support, a family-oriented customer base and excellent visibility. Following significant investment earlier this year, The Holly Bush offers an exciting opportunity for a community-minded operator to build on strong foundations and take the business to the next level.
The Business
Currently trading at approximately £11,000 per week, with a 60/40 wet to dry sales split, The Holly Bush combines a successful food offer with a welcoming community atmosphere. The pub features four distinct trading areas, including dedicated dining spaces and a separate social area complete with pool table and darts board. Open fires create a warm and inviting feel throughout the year, while the large beer garden and extensive car park make it a popular destination during the summer months.
The pub enjoys a strong reputation locally and attracts a broad mix of guests, including families, regular drinkers, local groups and visitors from the surrounding area.
The Opportunity
Having recently benefited from significant investment, The Holly Bush is perfectly positioned for its next chapter. Whilst the pub has established itself as a successful food destination, the largest opportunity lies in further developing the community and wet-led aspects of the business. By increasing social occasions, strengthening the drinks offer, growing local engagement and creating more reasons for guests to visit throughout the week, there is clear scope to increase trade.
With the right operator leading the business, The Holly Bush has the potential to achieve in excess of £14,000 per week.
