Popular convenience store Nisa has shared plans to open 400 new shops across the UK.

It comes as part of massive expansion plans from the chain, adding to its current 130 stores they opened this year. 

Currently, the chain has more than 4,000 stores in the UK, seeing more than 430 open in the last year. 

Speaking of their expansion plans, Nisa boss Peter Bratt said: "Following many strong years for recruitment, we’re pleased to have continued this momentum in 2022 and now into this year.

"The sustained growth in recruitment is not only down to the brilliant team at Nisa, who have gone from strength to strength but also to the strength of Nisa’s proposition for independent retailers.

“At Nisa we’re committed in ensuring our retailers are at the heart of the decisions we make, and we’ll continue to invest in our offer.”

Nisa to open 400 new stores in the UK

Nisa's plans to expand across the UK come as many fellow convenience chains were forced to close their doors. 

This includes McColl's who closed over 100 branches in the last year after they were taken over by supermarket brand Morrisons. 

McColl's was hit with heavy debt following the pandemic, as well as supply chain issues and inflation.
