Wholesale symbol group Nisa has won a contract to supply convenience chain McColl’s and its 298 former Co-op stores.
Subject to CMA clearance for the acquisition of the Co-op stores, Nisa will begin supplying in January 2017, followed by a rapid rollout that will see all of the new store portfolio transitioned by June 2017.
Primarily located in neighbourhood locations throughout the UK, the new McColl’s stores have an average size of 1,700 sq ft.
McColl's said its new portfolio will allow it to accelerate its long-term strategy of expanding convenience operations, and grow its share of the fresh and chilled sectors.
CEO Jonathan Miller said: “I am pleased to announce that we have awarded Nisa the supply contract for our newly acquired portfolio of convenience stores.
“Nisa’s quality fresh and chilled food supply strongly complements our ongoing expansion in the convenience sector, and will enable us to provide our new customers with a full range of high quality products at competitive prices.”
Nick Read, CEO of Nisa Retail, said: “We’re delighted to have secured the contract to supply these 298 stores for McColl’s and to extend our relationship with them further.
“The McColl’s contract win closely follows our appointment to supply Bourne Leisure – demonstrating Nisa’s unique ability to provide a strong, varied and comprehensive offer to a diverse range of retail formats.'
