JD Wetherspoon is set to open a new pub in Leeds despite previously scrapping plans.
The popular pub chain purchased the former Sant' Angelo restaurant in Wetherby following its closure in 2022. Formerly the Angel pub, Wetherspoon held plans to convert the site back to its former use but later scrapped these plans due to sensitive “commercial reasons” and placed the building back up for sale. But in a significant u-turn, the Yorkshire Evening Post can now confirm that the pub giant has decided to transform the venue into one of its pubs after all.
“This is subject to planning and licensing approval.” It comes after Wetherspoon revealed that its profit surged by almost eight-fold for the latest year, with sales rising in recent weeks.
