The acquisition of the Turf pub represents another significant investment by Reynolds and McElhenney in Wrexham, the historic football club they acquired in February 2021. The pub, located directly beside the Racecourse Ground, has become an iconic location within the club's narrative and local community.
The venue gained international recognition through its appearances in the documentary series "Welcome to Wrexham," which chronicles the actors' efforts to revitalize the National League club. The show, co-produced by Reynolds and McElhenney, has brought substantial media attention to Wrexham and its supporters since its debut.
The purchase adds to the owners' growing portfolio of assets tied to the club. Since taking control of Wrexham, Reynolds and McElhenney have invested substantially in infrastructure and team development as they pursue promotion to the English Football League.
The Turf pub's location has made it a natural gathering point for supporters and media covering the club's activities. Its acquisition by the ownership group signals an intent to deepen integration between the club and its surrounding community infrastructure.
