1st Leisure Corporation, a hospitality investment business based in Alderley Edge, Cheshire, has announced its plans for expanding its business in 2025, as it targets both domestic and international acquisitions to strengthen its hospitality portfolio.
The company has secured financial backing to significantly expand its estate throughout the year, and is finishing 2024 with a flurry of activity that has seen the group make offers on several strategic sites across the North West of England.
Alexander Zuk, Director at 1st Leisure Corporation, explained, “1st Leisure is bucking the trend in hospitality. We are actively seeking further strategic growth and are currently looking at a range of pubs, bars, restaurants and leisure opportunities that we see have potential for significant expansion over the next 12 months. We expect to see an increase in sites coming to the market in the first quarter of 2025 and we’re well placed to identify and swiftly complete on deals.”
1st Leisure Corporation is financially backed by a mixture of institutional and private investors, having secured appropriate funding to execute its growth strategy of organic growth and strategic acquisition. The company is looking to target existing trading venues in the leisure and hospitality sector or those that may have recently closed.
