The issue
The operators of this wet-led pub wanted greater supplier flexibility. A substantial proposed rent increase threatened the value of moving to an MRO lease.
The approach
MDE examined market comparisons and trading conditions to challenge the proposal and support the negotiation.
The outcome
The published case study describes an agreed MRO rent and a move to free-of-tie trading with more control over the product range.
Why it matters
A rent proposal should be assessed against the business and the whole commercial package, rather than viewed in isolation.
