Fast-growing Amacor Capital Limited has launched their third store in 30 days, getting closer to their target of 20 stores by the end of the year.

The group is all set to open doors of their new store in Newton-le-Willows, their 15th, at the end of the week.


The store, trading as a Co-op till last Saturday, will now adorn a new Nisa Local fascia. Amacor is a key account partner of Nisa.

The store boasts an enhanced range comprising a strong Co-op own label choice alongside a good, branded offer with Nisa promotions to play a key part in the new look store.

“This site is a busy one and we’ll be looking to build on the existing customer base that has been established by the Co-op and attracting more shoppers through the addition of new services and products,” Alex Wilson, head of acquisition at Amacor, said.

“We’ll be operating with the same store team and manager, so shoppers will get the same great level of service they are accustomed to whilst enjoying more choice and some fantastic prices and promotions.”

Along with the lottery, Paypoint and an ATM, the food and drinks to go range is to be improved with the addition of machines including Costa Coffee and Tango Ice Blast.
