Nisa Local Uxbridge Road 1

A refurbished West London Nisa Local has reopened following an extensive refit designed to enhance the shopping experience for the local community.

Operated by convenience chain LA Foods, the store relaunched last Friday (7 March), boasting an improved layout, an expanded fresh and chilled range and a significant selection of Co-op own label products.

The six-week refurbishment introduced several upgrades, including a new layout to improve customer flow. One of the biggest changes was relocating the checkout counter to the front of the store, making it more accessible and allowing staff to have better oversight of the shop floor.

Malik Zameer, store manager, explained the reasoning behind the transformation: “People are drawn to fresh, modern environments and we wanted to create a store that truly meets the needs of our customers. We’ve expanded our chilled and fresh product range, particularly our fresh produce, which has already had a positive impact on sales. We’re now seeing an uplift in fresh sales by approximately 50% which is a fantastic start.”

Another key improvement was removing previous signage that covered the store’s windows, allowing passers-by to now see inside. “Every aisle and bay is visible from outside, creating a more open and welcoming feel,” added Malik. “It encourages people to pop in, even if they’re not planning to buy anything - it’s all about creating an inviting shopping space.”

LA Foods Group has now been working alongside Nisa for over 20 years, with 13 stores currently under the group’s fascia. Last year, LA Foods extended its existing supply contract with Nisa for a further five years.
