"Sustainability and leisure provide opportunities to diversify"

"The end of lockdown has seen improvements in acquisition activity for leisure operators across high streets, shopping centres and retail parks"

"Out-of-town retail destinations have seen increasing competition for F&B space as consumers continue to recognise the convenience of their locations, leading to a significant uplift in the rents that can be achieved at this format"

"Despite the food and beverage sector seeing some improvement in consumer engagement and operator acquisitions in town and city centres, it is regional locations that have seen a significant uptick in fortunes, allowing businesses to return to profit"

"Restaurants have seen a similar pattern of behaviour to the rest of the food and beverage market"

"Looking forward, the performance of restaurants, as well as the rest of the hospitality industry, may prove to be more tapered as it attempts to navigate the current economic headwinds"

"Gym operators go from strength to strength as health, fitness and well-being is perhaps no longer considered a discretionary spend by the UK consumer"

"Cinema admissions recover post-Covid; however, profits stall for large operators whilst high-end and small-chain operators fare much better"

"So, what’s the outlook for the UK leisure sector?"
