The new Nisa Express store format has been officially unveiled at the symbol group’s 2020 virtual expo.
Catering for retailers operating in more compact spaces, the design for stores up to 1,000sq ft has been developed with three different format options available.
Covering food centric, forecourt and essentials, each design differs to meet the demands of the shopper with format and range tailored for the specific market.
The food centric option is the focus of the store exhibited via a virtual tour facility at Nisa Expo and offers a premium provision based around the on-the-go and meal for tonight customer.
The proposition is particularly designed to service the cash rich, time poor consumer, living predominantly in a city centre location.
Key to the food centric format is the enhanced food-to-go offering, premium coffee offer and fresh focus complemented by the latest vending machine offers, seating area and on-trend category offering.
The essentials version of Nisa Express serves the needs of the average below 1,000sq ft store, largely based in neighbourhood environments and often the hub of the local community.
This format ensures all the requirements of the small store are maximised to their potential including a generous chilled range, BWS and a focus on value, with other services such as Post Office to drive footfall.
And in the fast-moving forecourt sector the concept store combines the current market trends with where the market is heading, achieved by establishing all the key propositions under one roof whilst ensuring the core theme is the right focus for a particular site.
Head of Format at Nisa Darren May said: “Our new Nisa Express format is designed to meet the needs of Nisa partners who operate smaller stores but who want to ensure their business is contemporary, has the right look and feel and provides their customers with the best shopping environment.
“Importantly, we want to ensure all partners have access to a Nisa fascia and format that complements their individual offering and location, and we believe this is achievable with the Nisa Express format.”
