Convenience specialist Nisa has signed a deal with MPK Garages Ltd to welcome 11 national forecourt sites to the brand.

The former Morrisons stores vary in size from 1,000 sq ft to 3.000 sq ft, and will be converted over the next three months.

A first site in Bristol began trading with Scunthorpe-headquartered Nisa last week. The remaining 10 sites are in Worcestershire, Staffordshire, Derbyshire and Yorkshire. The range is set to focus on food-to-go and chilled offerings.

“We now have the scope to add value to our local customer experience and offer the best possible prices in store daily with the new Nisa supply deal. We are looking forward to working with Victoria Lockie and the Nisa team as we start a new journey together to deliver the best possible offering to our customers.”
