Bicester-based group, Peach Pub Company has secured £4m to expand its estate of 17 market town venues, by a further five outlets. The company also plans to swell its partner numbers from 11 to 15.
When Peach has reached its current goal of 22 pubs, turnover will be around £35m, and the firm will decide then whether to further expand.
The company reported strong Christmas sales, which were double the average across the portfolio. Like-for-likes stood at 11% for the period with the group's largest site taking £70k over the Christmas week.
Peach Pub Company was formed in 2001 by Hamish Stoddart, Lee Cash and Jo Eames (pictured).
