The Closed Shop - Reet Ale Pullin Out


-MG-

Recommended Posts

Well Chris from the Closed Shop wanted to take on the lease from Reet Ale and run it as a community pub. I don't know how that is progressing, as it didn't sound like they had any intention to close in the mean time, so feels like something unexpected as happened.

 

I know one shouldn't jump to conclusions but anything involving Punch isn't going to be simple or easy.

Hi everyone,

 

The Closed Shop did have to cease trading on Wednesday due to the liquidation of Reet Ale Pubs. Our intention had been to raise the money to take over the lease before the liquidation, but we thought that we had a little longer to work it all out.

 

I am planning to reopen the pub in the next couple of weeks and have spoken to the area manager and a few interested investors. Regardless of whether it ends up being run by members of the community, or somebody else, it will still be the same old Closed Shop as long as my team and I are there.

 

The timescale was originally 2 weeks, but we'll have to see how quickly the solicitors work. In the meantime, you can check for updates on the community facebook and twitter pages.

 

See you soon,

Chris

Is this just The Closed Shop, or will Three Tuns be re-opening as well?

 

Just the closed shop. The 4 pubs previously owned by reet ale have no connection now, they're all independent of each other. Rutland and punch bowl are both open, closed shop is opening soon, haven't heard anything yet on the three tuns

Don't think Punch Taverns have found anyone to take on the lease for the Tuns yet.
