Experienced Operator

The Loughborough Arms is a lively and well-established pub with a strong and varied weekly rhythm of trade. With numerous TV screens positioned throughout the venue, there is a significant opportunity to maximise the Sky Sports offering beyond football, showcasing a broad range of sporting events to drive footfall across the week. Successfully capturing trade both before and after key fixtures will be vital to fully capitalising on these high-demand occasions. The pub benefits from a popular Thursday student night, featuring drinks promotions and entertainment, which provides a reliable midweek boost supported by the town’s substantial student population. In addition to this, the pub enjoys a strong late-night weekend trade. Currently operating with DJs & Karaoke on Fridays and Saturdays and benefiting from a 2 am licence, the Loughborough Arms is a recognised late-night destination within the town centre. As a community-focused pub, continued emphasis on local engagement, events, and fundraising initiatives will be essential. An incoming operator should think creatively about how to maximise the available trading space, developing a diverse calendar of events that appeals to a broad demographic. There is a clear opportunity to introduce additional activities such as music bingo nights, board game nights, quiz evenings, and other interactive entertainment to further strengthen weekly trade and customer loyalty.

The BDM describes the Loughborough Arms as a fantastic opportunity for an experienced operator who has already proven themselves in a fast-paced, town-centre environment. This is a site where passion, creativity and high energy must be matched with strong commercial discipline and operational control. Success will come from delivering a powerful, well-structured events calendar from live entertainment and events to establishing the pub as the go-to student venue in town, creating an atmosphere that consistently brings people together while driving sustainable sales growth. The right operator will have a proven track record in managing busy town-centre pubs, with the confidence to maximise peak trading, control costs, and turn high footfall into strong returns. This is about elevating performance to the next level, not learning the basics. As such, this opportunity is not suitable for a first-time operator, but for someone ready to take on a high-energy site with ambition, structure and accountability.
