Today Nisa is a £1.45 billion turnover company which exists to provide benefits to approx. 1,400 partners, operating over 4,000 stores, and provides every service that an independent needs to survive and grow in the grocery marketplace.
Over the years, Nisa has ensured the prosperity of thousands of retailers and with its renewed focus on the consumer now seeks to provide greater means to achieve success. Nisa has developed exponentially in the 40+ years since it was established. In May 2018 the Co-op completed its acquisition of Nisa Retail Limited, joining together two strong brands to begin an exciting journey together.
The wholesale operation will provide an environment in which independent retailers can flourish. It brings enhanced buying capability, allowing Nisa Partners to trade their businesses in the way they choose, backed by competitive prices and promotions with access to a deeper range including a wide selection of Co-op’s award-winning, high-quality own brand products across all categories.
Founded in 1977, Nisa’s mission is to be the partner of choice for retailers and wholesalers. Nisa’s wholesale operation provides an environment in which independent retailers and wholesalers can really flourish. Since joining forces with the Co-op the structure brings enhanced buying capability, allowing Nisa partners to trade their businesses in the way they choose, backed by competitive prices and promotions with access to a deeper range including Co-op’s award-winning, own brand products.
With Nisa, retailers have the option to operate under a symbol fascia; Nisa Local or Nisa Extra, or dual branded, whereby a Nisa partner can maintain their own identity whilst also benefiting from the strength of the Nisa brand. Alternatively, a retailer can trade under their own independent fascia.
Through its latest Evolution store format, Nisa offers flexibility to retailers with a more modular development format which accommodates the individual demographic and shopping missions of each store. The concept considers emerging trends to create a store design that demonstrates to retailers how best to capture additional footfall and spend while setting themselves apart from the competition. The Evolution format has seen great success, with retailers on average achieving a 12 per cent uplift in sales since conversion.
Nisa provides a complete support package which comprises a strong retail focused team, an enhanced category management system, a bespoke staff training facility and comprehensive marketing package incorporating social media and PR support, leaflets, point of sale material, a personalised Nisa FM radio network and national advertising.
