Managed pub operator JD Wetherspoon has scrapped plans to open its first outlet on the Channel Islands.
Wetherspoons had planned to open on the site of a former Chicago Rock bar at the Waterfront development in Saint Helier, Jersey, and last week was understood to be nearing completion for the site.
The company pulled out of a licensing hearing last Wednesday but said it planned to re-apply at a later date.
However, spokesman Eddie Gershon told M&C Report today: “Wetherspoons has now decided against looking to open in Jersey for the foreseeable future because it wants to concentrate on its pubs in the mainland.”
