A pub chain is a group of pubs or bars which operate under a unified brand image. Pubs within a chain are tied houses and can, generally, only sell products which the chain owner sanctions. The chain owner, often called a pubco, may be one company or there may be multiple financiers and the chain itself may be a single operation or division of a larger company, such as a brewery. Pubs in a chain normally display their chain branding prominently and may also feature shared aspects of their chain, such as menus and staff uniforms.
