It comes after the no-frills boozer signed a new franchise agreement with The Papas Group, a family owned business.
As part of the deal, the chain will open 15 new sites.
That includes its new pub at Gateway Park, Lincoln, on the site of a former Gateway Park Brewers Fayre.
It is set to open on October 1.
A further three are set to open in October and November at sites in Annitsford, Stockton-on-Tees and Emersons Green.
Wetherspoon commercial director Michael Barron said: “We are delighted to have signed agreements with The Papas Group.
“We are looking at further opportunities and are confident that more franchise agreements will be signed.”
The Papas Group director Andrew Papas (pictured) added: “We are absolutely thrilled to be partnering with Wetherspoons to bring 15 new pubs to life across the UK.
“These aren’t just any pubs — they’re beloved community spaces, thoughtfully located outside the traditional high street, yet right at the heart of where people live, work, and gather.
“This partnership is about more than just expansion; it’s about restoration, revitalisation, and reinvestment in our local communities.
