Retailers Emyr and Sarah Jones have transformed a disused play centre in the village of Ffos-y-ffin, close to Aberaeron in Wales, into a 2,995sq ft Nisa Local store.

The store, which is situated on the coast in a busy holiday spot and sees a steady flow of local customers year-round, is the first opened by the Jones family with Nisa, although they currently operate several shops with other symbol groups.

The outlet boasts a large Co-op range, which Emyr Jones believes will be a draw to tourists, as well as an expansive food-to-go offer comprising Costa coffee, ice-cream and milkshakes machine, and a serve-over hatch offering freshly-cooked goods.

The 14 metres of chillers offer a broad range of fresh produce from local suppliers and Co-op own brand with a local bakery and butchery supplying a wide choice of products to shoppers.

Emyr Jones said: “It is a great location and I have high hopes for the store. There’s no supermarket within about 18 miles of us so we are a pull for a large community and have had a very promising response from shoppers.

“Fresh produce was phenomenal in the first few weeks and dairy goods all sold really well. With the nearby caravan parks hopefully set for a great 2021 season, we are expecting trade to be strong and are very hopeful for the future.”
