Revolution Bars to open three new sites
Revolution Bars Group, which runs 60 bars under the Revolution and the Revolución de Cuba brands, is set to open its first three new sites in 2016.
The company has announced plans to open in Albert Dock in Liverpool, Stafford and central Reading.
All three sites have received full licensing and planning permissions.
The Liverpool and Reading sites will both be Revolución de Cuba bars, while the Stafford location will be a Revolution.
The two new Revolución de Cuba sites, which will be food-oriented, are large-format versions with customer square footage of over 6,000 sq ft in each site. All three of the new bars will have outdoor trading areas.
The news comes following the opening of three new Revolución de Cuba bars in Leeds, Nottingham and Milton Keynes over the last six months.
The Liverpool and Stafford bars are due to open prior to the Group's year end, bringing the total number of new bars opened to five in the year ended 30 June 2016. Reading will open in Autumn 2016.
Mark McQuater, chief executive, said: "I am delighted to report our expansion plans are progressing. We are encouraged with the performance of the three new Revolución de Cuba bars opened in the first half in Milton Keynes, Leeds and Nottingham. With two more bars scheduled to open prior to the year end and the first of our 2017 financial year new sites secured in Reading for later in 2016, our new site pipeline is strong and we remain confident of meeting our strategic growth targets."
