SFI Group plc
 PROFILE
Good old-fashioned pubs are out; focused high-street, multiple-licensed retailers are in. SFI Group (formerly Surrey Free Inns) has transformed itself into a UK-wide operator with three core brands: The Litten Tree, Bar Med, and the traditional Slug and Lettuce. Catering to different markets, they can sometimes be found near each other in the high streets of mid-sized towns. The first two brands are identified by SFI as having "chameleon characteristics," i.e., food bars during the daytime and entertainment-led leisure bars in the evening -- what old-fashioned bar-leaning analysts would call "sweating the assets." The group runs more 125 units, including some Latin Bars and other unbranded traditional pubs.
