Inside Nisa, Stamford, Lincolnshire

A good visit to this store on Friday. A new look Nisa, opened one week ago opposite Stamford College.

• The dedicated food-to-go counter is a key addition and undoubtedly takes the Nisa proposition forward.
• Access to the Co-op range also helps drive range, quality and value credentials, not least in chilled ranges and BWS.
• The overall look and feel of the store impressed, supported by a black core colour scheme helping the products themselves to shine.
• Some strong wider range development, not least around local meats and pastries, local bakery and locally sourced cakes & sweet treats.
• Two self-checkouts installed to support core till point.

It’s still early days with the food-to-go counter offer, and the key test will be this week as students return to the college after half-term, but with a good menu selection at affordable price points it should be well-placed to succeed.
