Editing Pub chain (section)

==Types==
In the [[United Kingdom]], there are two types of [[pub]] chain, reflecting the ownership of the pub and the style of operations.  Pubs are either tenanted or managed.

[[Marston's Brewery]] and [[Stonegate Pub Company]] are two of the largest pub chains in the UK operating multiple brands of branded pubs.

Pub chains such as [[Punch Taverns]] and [[Ei Group]] own thousands of tenanted pubs which are not branded to retain uniqueness. They are controlled in the brands of beer, ales and lagers and sometimes other beverages that they may sell.

Pub chains operating managed houses are frequently run as brands, located near a high street but rarely in predominantly residential areas.

Multiple-held pubs do exist in countries other than the United Kingdom, but due to most countries having different accepted systems of ownership and supply, they do not hold anywhere near the level of control over the market as they do in the UK.<ref>{{cite web |title=The nine pubcos who control over half of all pubs |url=https://oxforddrinker.camra.org.uk/2022/02/the-nine-pubcos-who-control-over-half-of-all-pubs/ |website=Oxford Drinker |date=18 February 2022}}</ref>
