Our PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT is like a traditional tenancy whereby our Pub Partner pays a rent and runs the pub as their own business, with full autonomy over the retail offer.

Want the feel of a classic tenancy but with a bit more support? Our Partnership Agreement could be the one:

• 5-year tenancy – stability to grow your pub

• £5k deposit – simple, affordable start

• Major repairs covered by JW Lees – we take care of the big stuff

• You handle internal decorations – make it yours

• Building insurance sorted – peace of mind built in

• 20% service charge – clear and transparent

• 3-month notice period – for more freedom

A partnership that gives you security, flexibility, and the backing of JW Lees heritage.

Our RETAIL AGREEMENT is more akin to a franchise, whereby JW Lees stipulate the retail offer and the Retail Operator provides the human resource that makes it all happen and in return receives a commission as their fee.

• Open-ended contract – flexibility built in

• £5k deposit – that’s all you need to get started

• All costs covered by JW Lees – from liability & contents insurance to utilities

• Food, beers & marketing supplied – we’ve got that sorted

• You provide the management – keep the team motivated and the pints flowing

• Weekly commission paid – your reward, every week

• 4 weeks’ notice period – no long tie-ins

A straightforward way to run your own pub, with JW Lees backing you every step of the way
