A pub chain is a company that owns and operates multiple pubs under a single brand, like Wetherspoons with its 792 venues. This allows for consistent policies, pricing, and often a similar look and feel across all locations. Chains can achieve economies of scale, buying in bulk and standardising operations, which can influence customer experience and profitability.
