Working at Nisa

Founded in 1977, Nisa’s retail strategy is to deliver benefits for independent retailers and help them grow their business in an increasingly competitive market.

Retailers have the option to operate under various symbol fascias: Nisa Local, Nisa Extra or dual branded, whereby a partner can maintain their truly local identity whilst also benefiting from the strength of the Nisa brand. Alternatively, retailers can choose to trade under their own independent fascia.

Nisa’s flexible model provides its retailers with an unbeatable breadth of range, to ensure they can provide a single destination shop for all their customers’ needs. This is supported by Nisa’s award-winning own label range, Heritage, which comprises a strong offering of high quality products at affordable prices.

In May 2018, the Co-op acquired Nisa Retail ensuring our independent retailers benefit from the new-found business stability and improved financial strength, whilst still being able to trade their businesses in the independent way they have always enjoyed, backed by competitive prices, promotions and a deeper own brand range in the well respected and great quality Co-op label.

Another fundamental asset to Nisa partners is the unrivalled, award-winning supply chain delivered through our long term distribution partnership with DHL, from warehouses located in Scunthorpe, Harlow, Stoke and Livingston.

Nisa believes community involvement is key, which is why partners are able to support good causes in their local area through Nisa’s Making a Difference Locally charity, to further cement their position at the heart of the community and truly make a difference to good causes in the area.
