Places   (Help with places, streets and buildings in Wigan.)

Hi peterp, the only pubs making any money these days are freehouses as they can negotiate the prices off retailers, I lived in a pub for 8 years my daughter ran the place the owner lived in Lancaster he was a property developer but had no knowledge on pub trade, I introduced my daughter to the owners of a Wigan brewer and she got barrels £30 cheaper than the brewery, she also used a retailer from Ashton for ale and spirits and again it was cheaper than the breweries, a good friend of mine owns various pubs and making a good profit breweries are now selling buildings and investing in bottled beers to supermarkets, they cannot compete with all the micro bars that are now nationwide but just think how much money they have made over the years.
