Marston's Pub franchise

Marston's has perfected the art of brewing for more than 180 years and during this time, we have ensured that every drop, in every pint of our beer is perfect. We have over 1,700 pubs around the country and with our wide range of drinks to choose from, there's something here for everyone. Marston's knows how to have a good time, and it's by eating and drinking. Hence, we also offer a wide range of food that complements our drinks: from the classic British roast, to fish and chips (dipped in our own ale), to savoury chicken, we have it all. 

We have a long history in pub operations and our products have been perfected over time. The pride we have in our products and services is not out of place, in fact our 1,700 pubs can attest to our statement. You get to operate in a market that is stable because of our proven business model, invest in confidence knowing you're backed by the best in the industry. Why are we so proud of our brewing? When you have won as much brewing, beer marketing and best pub awards as us, you will be proud. In addition, we have also bagged various entrepreneurial and humanitarian awards.

We care about our franchisees; as such, they don't have to worry about rent, repairs, or utility bills; well do them for you. Before running your own Marston's, you'll be attending our “Fit for Franchise” introduction programme focused in preparing you for the business. You and your teams will also receive training from us; as we care about how you carry the Marston's brand. You will also be designated an area manager who will handle any issues or queries, and help you perform the best you can. We'll also handle your advertising on a national level, and provide you with tools to operate. Rest assured, we'll be supporting you all the way, the Marston's way.

If you have a passion for delivering good customer service, the determination and commitment to become a franchisee for at least 5 years, good business acumen, the ability to lead a team, and a desire to bring together a community through good times —then you're on the right track. We require an agreement fee of only £25,000 plus working capital to start operations. Our franchisees come from a wide range of professions, there is no gender, race, or any stereotypes when choosing our franchisee.

The company's history dates back to 1890 when three breweries formed to create the Wolverhampton and Dudley Breweries. In 1947, we began to rebuild ourselves after the war and started sharing stocks on the London Exchange. In 2007, we had already grown into a national business, we then decided it was time to use a new name; hence, Marston's.
