John Singleton's burgeoning pub empire
John Singleton's Australian Pub Fund recently bought its 11th pub for around $34 million.
The purchase brings the company closer to its goal of having a listed pub empire.
In 2011 Singleton and his friends, Mark Carnegie and Geoff Dixon, established the fund to start buying distressed pubs around Australia and turn them into cash-cows with food, drinks and poker machines contributing one third of revenue in each.
Eventually they will publicly list the company.
Property Observer has compiled a list of the pubs bought by the fund so far with their reported sale price at the time as well as RP Data's price for some of the properties. RP Data's prices likely only include the value of the property and not the business value.
The fund is reportedly worth around $180 million now though the purchase prices add up to $140 million.
