Greene King Pub Partners opens fourth Nest Pub
Greene King Pub Partners, the leased, tenanted and franchise business unit of Greene King, has opened its fourth Nest Pub.
The Friar on St Christopher Road in Colchester, Essex, opened on Friday 31st May.
The pub, previously a Greene King Pub Partners tenanted site, has had a £265,000 investment by Greene King to transform it into a Nest Pub.
Thanks to the investment, The Friar has received all new decorations, fixtures and fittings inside, including pool tables and interactive dartboards which are a key feature of Nest Pubs.
In line with the Nest Pubs look and feel, the pub has also been repainted inside with a colour palette that prominently features turquoise and orange tones. Furthermore, outside, the pub has been fully upgraded with an improved outdoor space and all-new signage, including a Nest Pubs sign next to the front door of the pub.
The Friar will be operated by Deborah Macklin, who worked at the pub under the previous operator when it was a tenanted site. As a local herself with strong connections to the community, Deborah will run The Friar as a franchisee with the backing and support of Greene King.
Nest Pubs is the second franchise concept from Greene King Pub Partners, following the success of Hive Pubs, the first franchise concept Greene King launched back in 2021, which now operates in over 50 sites.
Nest Pubs are wet-led pubs predominantly located on busy high streets and in communities, providing great value, an excellent experience and regular sport and entertainment.
As a concept, Nest Pubs has its own unique identity, look and feel – and each pub shows Sky Sports and TNT Sports, as well as providing a pizza food offer alongside a great drink selection.
Aimed at those with hospitality management experience who want to take the step up and run their own business with enhanced support, a franchisee can get the keys to their own Nest Pub for just £3,000.
As wet-led pub businesses with a simple to deliver food offer, Nest Pubs have lower staffing costs and enable franchisees to focus on providing a great pub experience.
Franchisees earn through a percentage of the net weekly turnover of their pub, alongside a quarterly percentage of business profits and annual bonuses.
