Bar operator sees dramatic rise in revenue

Bar operator MOJO, which has a venue in Nottingham, says it has experienced “dramatic” increases in like-for-like trading on its Q3 2019 figures – with revenue up by 70%.

MOJO opened in Leeds in 1996 and now has bars across the North and Midlands in Harrogate, Leeds, Manchester, Nottingham and Liverpool and will soon be sixth bar in Sheffield.

Director Martin Greenhow said: “Despite many stumbling blocks due to COVID-19, I’m delighted to announce that MOJO has reported a 70% increase in like for like trading when compared to our 2019 figures. 2020 was a well documented disaster for our industry and I’m thrilled to be able to grow the group and its success even further in 2021.

“The hospitality industry was one of the industries that was hit the hardest by COVID-19, the various lockdowns and the new rules and regulations but despite this we’ve managed to deliver a hugely successful return to normal operations in 2021.

“We’re opening our sixth bar in Sheffield shortly and it’s great to be adding this to our success story. We look forward to continuing our expansion in the near future.”
