Young’s toasts boost from summer of sport despite industry ‘challenges’

Susannah Streeter, chief investment strategist at Wealth Club, said: “Young’s has provided a big dose of cheer, with revenue up 9.4 per cent for the first few months of its new financial year.

“It’s basking in the sunshine of the summer of sport which has pulled punters in, with extended hours creating even more happy hours for the pub chain.

“Young’s gastropubs and boutique rooms in characterful locations, including gardens and riverside sites have proved particularly appealing to locals and visitors who have been enjoying the heatwave.

“It’s managing to navigate the challenges in the hospitality industry adeptly, with curated offerings making it easier to charge premium prices to offset higher payroll costs.”
