Pitcher & Piano
United Kingdom Pitcher & Piano was the first bar chain to focus on the female customer and truly understand the motivations of the majority of young people who go out for a drink - they want to meet and talk. The business was slowly rolled out with each new unit pushing on the concept and honing the locational and trading size strategy. In 1995 Pitcher & Piano took its first site outside London. |
