Holiday park operator Haven has unveiled its new and extended store at its Kent Coast holiday park.
Working with partner Co-op Wholesale - home of Nisa - the refurbishment “will elevate its guest experience by providing an improved shopping experience for holiday makers,” the buying group said.
After a significant investment, taking on the full new Nisa proposition, the on-site shop has seen a dramatic 44% increase in shop floor space. This has allowed for an increase in chill and food-to-go bays, with double the space for chilled snacks enhancing the range and offering a wider choice for guests. Additionally, the store has now fitted a beer cave to grow its beers, wines and spirits offering.
The new store is part of an initiative to modernise and enhance experience in shops across Haven’s parks, all utilising the new Nisa proposition.
The partnership between Haven and Co-op Wholesale goes above and beyond investment in stores. It also supports charities with important fundraising. As part of the partnership, the pair’s charity partner, Making a Difference Locally, have raised £146k. The significant amount has been donated to a range of organisations, including RNLI stations local to Haven sites and Cancer Research UK.
Paul Webster, partnerships and sales director at Co-op Wholesale, home of Nisa, added: “This is a fantastic moment for our partnership with Haven - to be the first holiday park to implement our new Nisa proposition having also recently grown the Co-op own brand to 30% across the Haven estate.
“This new store elevates the guest experience at Kent Coast, and with our swimming pool complex opening alongside it, we’re anticipating record visitor numbers. We’re excited to welcome both owners and holidaymakers to enjoy everything the park has to offer.
“To have extended and modernised the store with Haven gives us tremendous pride. We’re thrilled with the new layout and increase in bays, which will provide shoppers with more choice than ever. The team is already busy working on the next refits which we’re excited to reveal in due course.”
Kate Carroll, social value lead at Co-op Wholesale, added: “The partnership with Haven is a great example of what we can achieve together with our, Making a Difference Locally fund. With these donations, we can make a real difference in people’s lives.”
