Co-op store in Nottingham set for makeover as Nisa

Co-op store in Nottingham set for makeover as Nisa
Dharsan Premkumar

Dharsan Premkumar, of independent convenience store operator The Highbury Vale Limited, is all set to open his new store in Nottingham.

The Gedling Road Co-op will close its doors in early July and Premkumar, who runs other stores in Nottingham as well as Hull, will re-open the store under a Nisa Local fascia days later.


He said the Nisa Local will offer a wide selection of Co-op own brand products including all the best sellers and there will be more choice for shoppers.

“We are very community based and so we make sure our range responds to what our shoppers want. We will still be offering our customers the best of Co-op through a bigger Co-op own-brand range than is currently available, and overall there will be more choice in the store from across all brands,” he said.

Premkumar, who took on a former Co-op in Hull in March 2020 and converted it to a Nisa Local, said he plans to make the most of the Nisa promotions and deals alongside the Co-op own label range and new additions to the store will include a coffee machine and Payzone with the current Evri service continuing to operate.

Existing Co-op store colleagues will remain, ensuring a continued friendly service from familiar faces in the store.

“We are looking forward to opening the store with a fresh look and offering even more choice to local people in the community,” he added.

The current store is set to cease trading on July 12 with the Nisa Local due to open its doors less than a week later on July 18.
