Hollywood actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have expanded their investment in the Wrexham community by acquiring The Turf, a historic pub situated next to the Racecourse Ground, home of Wrexham AFC. The purchase marks a further integration of the owners into the local culture surrounding the football club they bought in 2021.

The Turf has long been a focal point for local supporters, but its profile grew significantly following the success of the Disney+ documentary series 'Welcome to Wrexham'. The show frequently features the pub as a gathering place for fans and a symbol of the town's connection to its football team. By acquiring the property, the owners aim to preserve a site that has become a landmark for both long-time residents and the new wave of international fans drawn to the club by the documentary.

While the financial terms of the acquisition have not been publicly disclosed, the move is being framed by local observers as a commitment to the long-term stability of the club's surrounding infrastructure. The pub has served as a community hub for generations, and the new ownership is expected to maintain its traditional role while leveraging its newfound global recognition. This purchase follows a series of investments made by the duo since their takeover of the club, which has seen Wrexham AFC rise through the football league ranks and gain unprecedented global media attention.
