Pubs, bars, and shops are getting ready for football fever on Sunday when England will play Spain in the Euro 2024 final.<\/p>\n

A surge in beer, burger, and pizza sales is expected as fans celebrate the men\u2019s national side\u2019s first-ever major tournament final outside of the UK.<\/p>\n

Peter Stone, who runs The Railway Inn in Westfield, north of Ipswich, is ready for a full-house. \u201cWe won\u2019t run out of beer,\u201d he told the BBC.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Sainsbury\u2019s is forecasting a threefold jump in beer sales while the British Retail Consortium is predicting a 24% jump in food and drink spending from 18-24 year olds.<\/p>\n

Pubs and shops are competing for customers who will either watch at home or at a bar.<\/p>\n

Mr Stone has introduced a special Euros menu alongside the traditional Sunday roast and said his pub will extend food service time to entice more people in.<\/p>\n

Other pubs are also going the extra mile, with The Prince Arthur in Shoreditch opening on a Sunday for the first time since landlord Jesse Charlebois took over 18 months ago.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Mr Charlebois says the pub has introduced drinks promotions, installed an aerial for HD television streaming, and “got all the benches out of the basement”.<\/p>\n

If England win, he believes the pub – and the nation – will benefit. “People are going to go nuts, which is great for the country. We need a little bit of good news.”<\/p>\n

Lots of other businesses are also hoping their Euros boost will continue on the weekend:<\/p>\n
