Small cap movers: Revolution Bars cries viva el government!
A look at some of the major movers this week in the world of small caps
It was a case of Viva La Revolución as Revolution Bars Group PLC (LON:RBG) welcomed the government’s latest lockdown guidelines.
The company, whose brands include Revolución de Cuba, said trading at its bars has been extremely strong since the government allowed bars with outdoor drinking spaces to reopen for business.
The shares rose 20% after the company said it is confident that further pent-up demand exists and that strong trading is anticipated in the months to come as restrictions fall away and it fully opens up its estate.

As 2020 comes to a close, no other gift is better equipped to help you forget the year that was than a bottle of distilled agave.
Had this year been like just about any year before it, right about now at least for those of us who live north of the Mason-Dixon line many of us would be looking forward to the holidays ahead and then, shortly thereafter, embarking on a customary mid-winter escape to locations both balmy and tropical. Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America, maybe even Brazil would be calling.
