Pound stores transformed the British high street, and the launch of a budget chain of pubs hoped to replicate this success.
With the popularity of the likes of Poundbakery and PoundCafe, Pound Pubs could arguably be seen as the next logical step. The first Pound Pub launched to great success in Stockton-on-Tees in 2014, with the next one opening in Greater Manchester later the same year.

According to a story in the Express, the pub was also branded "irresponsible" by drink campaigners. It also said angry neighbours claimed the pub was catering for drunks who had been seen "staggering around the streets" before lunchtime.
One concerned local was quoted as saying: "All this bar is doing is selling cheap alcohol early in the morning to vulnerable
