Nisa Local Stanford Le Hope

He plans to grow from five to 20 stores within five years across East London and Essex. Pictured above is the Nisa Local store in Stanford Le Hope. 

Harsh has built a reputation for turning underperforming sites into thriving Nisa stores, driving growth and community impact.

“Co‑op Wholesale is absolutely the right partner for the future,” said Harsh. “The support is always there when we need it. The strength of the chilled and frozen range, and the trust customers have in Co‑op own brand, make a huge difference to our performance. With this partnership in place, we can take on bigger opportunities and deliver successful stores again and again.”
