Pub chain to take over Douglas venue in May
Enterprise Minister Tim Johnston admits that the arrival of the pub chain Wetherspoons on the Island will provide some local businesses with a challenge.
But, he says there could also be opportunities.
Wetherspoons is set to take over 1886, on Regent Street, from 14 May.
Mr Johnston was asked if some businesses would be worried by this major player arriving on the Island:
