Greene King Pub Partners, the leased, tenanted and franchise division of Greene King, has launched its 20th Hive Pubs site.
The Coach & Horses in Maghull near Liverpool has been transformed following a £450,000 investment from the pubco. It will be run by franchisee Gaynor Sartorius and manager Matty Bris.
The pub, which was previously a Greene King managed operation, has been completely renovated inside and out in line with the Hive Pubs brand and concept to create a modern look and feel with community at its heart.
A key part of the pub's transformation to Hive has been its garden, which now features beach huts and covered outdoor seating.
As a Hive pub, sport will be a key part of the offer, with the venue showing all major sporting events. It also has a pool table and dartboard.
The Hive Pubs franchise agreement gives licensees a ready to trade pub for £5,000 ingoing cost. Franchisees get a minimum guaranteed income of £20,000 plus additional income based on performance such as share of turnover.
