Nisa has seen a sales boost of almost 30% from 2019 to 2022 from its forecourt retailers.
The convenience retailer said this came as a result of investments in price, expanding existing operations and opening a total of 310 new stores since 2019, The Grocer reported.
In 2020, Nisa signed a deal with Ascona Group which has 62 forecourts, and later this year, MPK Garages 28 stores will have Co-op branded fascia with the independent brand ‘Pop-In Daily’.

Nisa head of retail, Victoria Lockie, told the publication: “The growth we are seeing at the moment in our forecourt stores is tremendous and really encouraging.
“Our teams work really hard alongside the forecourt operators to offer the best possible products and services and many of these operators are reporting significant increases in sales after coming on board.”
Over the past four years, the symbol group has seen average weekly sales growth of 23% due to the stores selection of chilled, food-to-go and Co-op own-brand items.
She added: “We’ve got some fantastic long-established relationships with many forecourt operators. It is clear the Co-op own brand is an extremely attractive proposition and as a business we continue to listen to our retailers to make improvements moving forward.”
This comes as Nisa has also seen continued growth across its holiday park convenience store portfolio as Haven Holidays parent company, Bourne Leisure, extended its contract.
It currently supplies 177 holiday park convenience stores across the UK, with 12 signed up so far in 2023, the strongest year of recruitment since the pandemic.
