Walkabout operator Intertain has officially launched its search for new venues with the publication of a property requirements brochure.
The company, which recently announced a restructuring of its main debt facilities, is looking for freehold or leasehold sites of between 5,000 and 10,00sqft in “all major towns”.
The brochure says Walkabout has seen a 20% increase in female clientele and is now perceived as a “cool”, “modern” and “authentic” venue to be seen in.
Chief executive John Leslie said: “This is a tremendously exciting time for Walkabout. The evolution of the brand has resulted in Walkabout being seen as an invigorated, sustainable and valuable asset to UK high streets.
“We’re looking for additional sites in prime locations across the UK, preferably with an existing late license. While we’ll consider shell units and existing retail space with conversion opportunities, we’re ideally looking for existing bars, pubs and clubs.”
