Personally, I hate chain pubs.They have so much purchasing power, as they are buying for 100+ branches! and can negotiate a bigger discount (if they are buying 2000 cases of vodka a week, as opposed to a case, that a local pub may order). They open to great fanfare, with loss leading prices, and as soon as the demise of other local pubs is complete, they hike the prices up.
