Talking Retail Grocery and product news for independent retailers
The launch of the new Nisa Local follows a four-day turnaround that saw the existing store cease trading, re-branded, and stocked with an improved range.
The 4,000sq ft Duckworth Road store, which previously traded as a Co-op, will continue to offer Co-op own-brand products together with an expanded range of Asian and Polish products.
Alex Wilson, heads of acquisitions at Amacor, said: “Our shoppers will still have access to a brilliant selection of their favourite Co-op products, as well as an improved choice across other areas. Future plans include the installation of a Costa Express, Tango Ice Blast, and f’real machine to complement the food-to-go offering in-store.
“We wanted to work fast to convert this store and limit the disruption to our customers, so we’re delighted to have been able to make the changes in such a short space of time. Amacor is always looking for investment opportunities and this store is ideal for our business, supporting our growth strategy and keeping us on track to reach our target of 20 stores by the end of the year.”
