Higher British costs and disappointing trading in the United States are set to deliver a costly one-two for profits at Goals Soccer Centres.
The company said yesterday that a combination of Brexit-related uncertainty, the introduction of food and drinks services in the UK and slower business at two new sites in Los Angeles would trip up its immediate progress as it downgraded its profit expectations for this year.
Goals, which runs 46 sites in Britain and four in California, has been listed on Aim since 2004. Sports Direct is its largest shareholder, with an 18.92% stake.
