Managed Partnership Pubs In Preston – Run The Guild Merchant
The Guild Merchant Preston
The Guild Merchant is situated perfectly on the outskirts of Preston on route to Blackpool. This popular community pub has a busy food trade and benefits from the recent reintroduction of Sky Sports and BT Sports.
The pub is decorated to a high standard and has a good base of core customers but also passing trade due to its prominent location.
The Guild Merchant would suit experienced operators who have a food background, it’s a busy pub however it has the potential for someone to really take it to the next level. Knowledge of the local area would be an advantage.
If this is not the pub for you do you know someone who is? If so, let us know using our Refer a Friend scheme and if successful in being placed in the pub we will give you a £1,000! (Terms & conditions apply)
The Opportunity
That idea you’ve always had about running your own pub – always seemed like a distant dream, didn’t it? Bet you never realised it was just a £5k security deposit away (plus legal fees) with a Marston’s retail agreement. Your earnings will be based on a percentage of weekly net turnover and for those of you interested in delivering a food offer, the agreement may include one of our branded food menus. With low ingoing costs, all the training and support you need to set you up for success, this is a great way of running your own business.
What’s in it for you?
A 25% share of weekly sales, excluding VAT.
Incentive bonuses based on business performance and standard audits
Low ingoing costs, starting with just a £5,000 deposit and £360 legal fees. See ‘Things to consider’ for more information.
Support obtaining your personal licence
Accommodation provided with most bills covered, except the council tax.
Call on us to cover the cost of repairs, fixtures and fittings
All of your stock, including food, and all associated consumables are supplied for free by Marston’s, although you will be responsible for managing it once it has been delivered.
Comprehensive induction training and ongoing support and training.
A dedicated Area Manager working with you to help you grow the business.
Access to our 450 strong-support teams whenever you need them – including Marketing, Recruitment and Food and Drink specialists.
All our Pub Partners get access to our FREE Learning, Development and Training platform Campus (a package worth over £300!).
What we expect from you:
Our Retail Agreement is a proven business-model, perfect for entrepreneurs who can drive sales, standards and guest experience.
In addition to the £5k security deposit required for this agreement, you will need to cover legal costs (£360 inc VAT), and your own insurance (except building insurance, which we’ll cover). Also, you’ll want to start thinking about your team; taking care of paying them and all other employment matters.
Before we all sign the agreement and see you heading into a whole new life, you’ll just need to show us proof that you’ve had independent financial and legal advice and have completed a sustainable business plan, in accordance with the Pubs Code. And, of course, obtain your personal licence (ask a member of our team about booking this course free of charge with us) and complete your induction training.
It’s a five-year commitment, so you have loads of time to build the business and get it performing brilliantly but, if you do want to leave early, there’s always the option of six months’ notice with a ‘break’ clause in the contract.
