The 137 Marston's pubs reportedly earmarked for acquisition by Admiral Taverns has been unveiled.
Earlier this week, BusinessLive reported how Admiral Taverns acquired a portfolio of pubs from rival chain Marston's in a deal worth £44.9 million.
Now, a list which was leaked to StokeonTrentLive has revealed the venues - including those in Cheshire, Derbyshire, Dorset, Gloucester and Greater Manchester - which are among the sites set to be taken over by Admiral.
Other pubs in Hereford, Leicestershire, Nottingham, West Midlands and Wales are also on the list which is published below.
Admiral Taverns has refused to confirm whether the list is accurate.
But Admiral CEO Chris Jowsey said: "We are delighted to be welcoming all 137 of our new pubs to Admiral. We take a very supportive approach in the industry, which sets us apart form the competition and our team are very proud of the long-term working relationships we have with our licensees.
"We are truly passionate about community pubs and have been making significant investments across our estate over the last few years to put these local businesses in the best possible position to thrive.
"As a business, this approach has earnt us industry recognition with the Group awarded Best Leased and Tenanted Pub Company in 2019 and we have also been consistently highly rated by licensees in the pub industry’s independent annual Tenant Track survey, regularly exceeding the scores of all our national peers."
