JD Wetherspoon sees sales growth in Q3 on steady demand
- JD Wetherspoon reported a 5.6% rise in like-for-like sales for the third quarter ending April 27, 2025, across its 795 UK pubs.
- The sales growth follows steady demand despite challenges from a £1.2 million weekly increase in operating costs caused by higher wages and taxes.
- Chairman Tim Martin noted that good weather supported recent trading and reiterated the company's expectation for a reasonable financial year outcome without planned price hikes.
- The group disclosed a year-end debt estimate between £720 million and £740 million and described rising labour costs as slowing long-term margin recovery potential.
- Wetherspoon continues expanding, opening two pubs this year with 15 more planned, while investing in upgraded staff facilities across over 500 sites to support growth.
