Nisa gears up to open 400 convenience stores in the UK
The company has already opened 130 new outlets to date and expects to amp up recruitment efforts alongside enhancing its relations with independent retailers.
Nisa is set to open a further 400 stores this year as part of its recruitment drive following a successful 2022. Last year, the brand opened 473 new stores and has seen a strong start in 2023 with 130 stores having been recruited year to date.
Recruitment of wholesale partners, including Greens Retail and MPK, has almost doubled in the same period year on year. Over the last two years, Nisa’s recruitment has amounted to almost 900 stores joining the fascia group.
Last month, the company announced a simplified version of its Fresh Rewards rebate scheme, to give independent retailers the opportunity to be rewarded financially. Funding, which was previously held in the store development fund, will now be given as a cash rebate, with qualifying retailers earning on average £2,300 cash back in their pockets per rebate period.
“The sustained growth in recruitment is not only down to the brilliant team at Nisa, who have gone from strength to strength, but also to the strength of Nisa’s proposition for independent retailers. At Nisa we’re committed in ensuring our retailers are at the heart of the decisions we make, and we’ll continue to invest in our offer,” said Peter Batt, Managing Director at Nisa.
Nisa currently supplies 2,480 branded and independent retail stores.
