The store’s range has been bolstered by the addition of Co-op products

Tom Highland said the addition of the new extended range available through Nisa, including more than 2,000 Co-op own brand products, has already helped grow sales. The business reports that since expanding the shop and enhancing the range in the Royston store, sales have increased by 100% with plans for further growth as shoppers become increasingly aware of the improved offer available in-store.

He said: “Having such a vast range of own-brand products with a strong name that people know and trust, has helped us grow the shop sales not only in areas where we were already strong, but also in new areas such as fresh produce where we have struggled in the past.”

Nisa head of key accounts Victoria Lockie said: “We are really pleased to embark on this relationship with the Highland Group – a successful and respected forecourt retailer.

“Working closely with the team we expect their customers to be delighted with what they will now find instore and we’re confident that with our support we will be able to help them grow sales further.”
