New store format teased for 2020 Nisa Expo

Nisa is set to unveil their very latest in store format as part their aim to drive sales and increase partners profit margins at their first ever virtual retail show next month.

Retailers will be offered the first chance to see and learn about the Nisa Express store which incorporates many exciting innovations.


Partners will have the opportunity to ask questions directly to the experts from Nisa’s format and development team.

Head of format at Nisa, Darren May, said: “We’re delighted that we’re finally going to be unveiling the new Nisa Express format to partners.

“It will obviously be a very different experience for them this year, but they will get a really good understanding of what it has to offer and we’re confident it will be well received.”

Category talk sessions will be held across the two-day event as well, focusing on key categories including frozen, meals and BWS as well as an in-depth look at the need to deliver value to shoppers through own label.

Events manager at Nisa, Jenny Potts said: “We’d planned to introduce these sessions to Nisa Expo for the first time back in Spring for the event at Stoneleigh and partners responded really positively to them.

“Clearly we have had to make a lot of changes to the agenda to ensure it is appropriate for a virtual audience, but the online platform has made it possible to focus on additional key areas for retailers and so we’ll be sharing even more learning opportunities through the virtual expo.”

Category experts from both Nisa and Co-op will talk retailers through the latest changes seen in the market in each of the four areas.

Insights on new customer behaviour and what to consider and making sure the potential is unlocked in each category will also be explored.

More details about Nisa Expo’s event can be found via their website.
