Turbulence in UK Public House Retailing: Ramifications and Responses

Abstract

UK public house retailing (PHR) has experienced a good deal of turbulence since the early 1990s (see, for example, Spicer et al., 2012; Slade, 2011; Preece, 2008). The major contributory factors are the 1989 ‘Beer Orders’ (arising out of the Monopolies and Mergers Commission’s investigation into the UK brewing and public house retailing sector); changing socio-economic contexts; technological innovations; the smoking ban; taxation and beer duty; extensive regulation and bureaucracy; the development and extension of strategic branding; cheap booze in supermarkets (often sold as a ‘loss-leader’); and, from the later 1990s, the increasingly widespread incidence of financialization in the sector. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
