Co-op Wholesale, the home of Nisa, has this week officially launched the new Nisa Troon store.

Located on Church Street in the Ayrshire town, the new 3,200 sq.ft. Nisa convenience store is the first to open in the area - and only the second to open in Scotland with the new-look Nisa proposition.

Business owner, Zaib Bal, of Troon Local Ltd, will operate the store at the previously empty unit, bringing life and much-needed amenities to the area.

The new store gives local shoppers access to a wide range of everyday essentials, fresh food and Co-op products.

Among the Co-op brand lines available to all Nisa symbols to stock are fresh and chilled, food-to-go, fresh produce, frozen and award-winning premium ranges, under the Irresistible moniker. Nisa Troon also stocks a selection of American confectionery, hot food and a freshly ground takeaway coffee provision from Smokin’ Bean.

Warm welcome

Fiona Shearer, regional development manager at Co-op Wholesale, said: “We’re thrilled to welcome Zaib into the Nisa group. It was brilliant to see the store officially open its doors to the local community – one we’re sure it will quickly become the beating heart of.”

Zaib added: “We’re delighted to open our new store in Troon and become part of the Nisa network. We want to provide local customers with a convenient shopping destination that delivers great value, excellent service and a fantastic range of products.

“We’re especially excited to bring the quality and choice of the Co-op own-brand range to the community and look forward to welcoming shoppers through our doors.”

A unique point of difference and real draw for Nisa stores is Co-op Wholesale’s charity – Making A Difference Locally (MADL). Via the initiative, £500 has been donated to Troon FC 2019s, a local football team that trains youngsters in a variety of skills needed to be a successful player.

Kate Carroll, social value lead at Co-op Wholesale, said: “Troon Nisa chose to support Troon FC 2019s because they know how important its work is in this community. Through MADL, we’re proud to help independent retailers fund the causes that matter most to them and their customers, and we’re delighted these funds will support this local young people’s football club.”
