Wetherspoon continues expansion in Ireland

By James Russell: Wetherspoon continues expansion in Ireland

November 18, 2014

Pub operator JD Wetherspoon has purchased a former nightclub in Blanchardstown, purchasing The Light Nightclub in Westend Shopping Park, Westend Commercial Village. It will be investing more than three million euros developing the site.

Wetherspoon has planning and licensing permission to develop the former nightclub into a pub. It still requires planning permission in order to undertake development work in the garden.

The company opened its first pub in the Republic of Ireland, in Blackrock (pictured above) in July and will be opening its second pub in the Republic in Dun Laoghaire on December 16.

It has also acquired a site in Swords. At present the Blanchardstown and Swords sites do not have on site or opening dates.

Wetherspoon chief executive John Hutson said: “We are delighted to have purchased our new property in Blanchardstown and to open it as a Wetherspoon pub in due course.”
