Nisa says it has recruited more than 620 stores in the past 12 months, delivering a “significant uplift” on a year earlier.

The year saw Nisa recruit large multi-site key accounts, including Ascona Group, Touts and the Highland Group, with many also continuing to grow their estate since joining Nisa, including Amacor and PGNJ.

Nisa’s forecourt numbers were also boosted by the recruitment of more than 60 new sites in 2020.

In addition, 2020 also saw 131 Nisa stores converted to the latest Evolution format despite the challenges of the pandemic.

The symbol group has strengthened its recruitment team with the formation of a new induction team, dedicated to supporting new partners during their first 100 days with Nisa and ensuring a smooth transition process.

Steve Leach, sales director at Nisa, said: “2020 was a record year for store recruitment at Nisa, which is testament to the strength of Nisa’s offer and that of the recruitment team, who have adapted brilliantly to embrace a primarily virtual recruitment method under such difficult circumstances this year.

“This flexibility, combined with our ability to serve a broad spectrum of retail and wholesale operators has enabled us to not only recruit a significant number of new stores but also unlock key growth in existing partner estates by providing an environment in which independent retailers can flourish.”
