Storrington service station undergoes transformation to Nisa Local

Storrington service station undergoes transformation to Nisa Local

Sales as well as shopper numbers have spiked at a forecourt store in West Sussex after a

complete refurbishment programme was undertaken.


The community of Storrington has benefitted from the newly revamped local store offering a wider product range and fresh new look.

Power Service Station, operated by Nisa key account retailing group Pricewatch, underwent

the transformation at the end of June, adopting a more contemporary look and relaunching

under the Nisa Local banner.

The 2,500 sq. ft. store has been fitted out to the latest Nisa Local Evolution specification,

with new interior and exterior signage, fittings and a fresh, clean look throughout.

Claire Partridge, Marketing Manager at Power Petroleum, said, “The main reason for the

changes was to enable us to reap the benefits of trading under a nationally recognised

name, allowing customers to shop with confidence, knowing they will be able to purchase

quality products at reasonable prices.”

A more comprehensive chilled range has also been introduced, whilst other additions include a larger selection of beers and ales to offer more choice for shoppers.

And the improved food to go area now offers an extensive choice of drinks and snacks

including Rollover hotdogs, Smokin’ Bean coffee, Moo Shakes, slushies, soft scoop ice

cream and an increased range of pastries and bake-off breads.

To mark the store’s reopening, a fun day was held for the local community which saw the

shop officially reopened by a member of the local council, followed by entertainment from a

balloon artist and face painter, a raffle and games and food and drink giveaways from a wide variety of suppliers.

With support from Nisa’s Making a Difference Locally (MADL) charity, £500 was raised at the event for a local social group supporting those with memory loss, Chanctonbury Leisure

Centre’s Memory Café.

The Storrington store is the first of 10 Pricewatch forecourt stores across Sussex to be

rebranded as a Nisa Local, with plans to move them all over to the symbol fascia in the near future, including four by the end of this year.

“We’ve seen a tremendous uplift in both sales and footfall since the refit, with Co-op lines in particular really popular with customers and the new food to go offerings going down a

storm”, said Claire.

Budget 2024: Local shops to face significant new pressure

Local shops will face significant new pressures as a result of today’s Budget, the Association of Convenience Stores (ACS) has warned.

Chancellor Rachel Reeves' budget's impact will be felt unevenly across the UK’s 50,000 convenience stores, with some measures such as business rate relief and the increased employment allowance mitigating costs for smaller independent stores, while providing no help for chains and larger independent businesses.
