J D Wetherspoon plc
 PROFILE
J D Wetherspoon has stirred up an unusual drink on the UK pub circuit. The company has some 460 music-free pubs in England, Scotland, and Wales, as well as Northern Ireland, that feature all-day food service and nonsmoking sections. Other variations on the traditional English pub include J D Wetherspoon's lack of association with any particular brewer and its reputation for converting non-tavern locations (banks, movie houses, post offices) into pubs with names like The Bankers Draft and The Moon Under Water. The company has ambitious growth plans that include operating about 1,500 pubs by 2010. Chairman Tim Martin, who founded J D Wetherspoon in 1979, owns 16% of J D Wetherspoon.
