Liverpool city centre gets its second Nisa Express

Ambitious retailers Abdullah Mohammed and Sam Nahshall (pictured) have opened their second Nisa Express store in Liverpool, just months after the successful launch of the region’s first store under the fascia.

Located near Mathew Street – a major tourist hotspot renowned for its Beatles heritage – the new site is positioned to attract high footfall from both tourists and the local nightlife economy. The store offers an extensive range of food-to-go, world foods and Co-op own brand products, setting it apart from nearby competition.

“There’s nothing quite like this store in the area,” said Abdullah. “We’ve created something unique, combining convenience with carefully selected ranges to serve tourists, city workers and local residents. The Co-op range gives us a real point of difference.”

Abdullah and his business partner Sam Nahshall bring 15 years of retail experience to the venture. Their first Nisa Express, located near Liverpool’s passport office, Radisson Hotel and D’Acompo restaurant, has been a strong success.

The new store on Mathew Street includes Lavazza coffee, Rollover hotdogs, and a two-metre souvenir gift section to appeal to the area’s tourist market. Open 24 hours, the store aims to serve both day and night-time customers.

Taranjit Singh Dhillon, head of retail at Co-op Wholesale, said: “We’re thrilled to see Abdullah and Sam grow with the Nisa Express format. Their stores are brilliant examples of how local entrepreneurs can use our support and the strength of the Nisa and Co-op brands to create tailored offers for their communities.”
