Founded in 1977, Nisa’s mission is to be the partner of choice for independent retailers, delivering benefits that help them grow their business in an increasingly competitive market.
And with multiple recent industry accolades to its name, retailers can depend on award-winning support from Nisa.

Based in North Lincolnshire, the business serves over 4,000 stores, including more than 1,000 with a symbol fascia. Working with Nisa, retailers can operate under various symbol fascias or become dual-branded, whereby retailers can maintain their own local identity whilst also benefiting from the strength of the Nisa brand. Alternatively, a retailer can choose to trade under their own independent fascia and branding.
In May 2018 Nisa was acquired by Co-op, delivering increased buying power to retailers, competitive prices and promotions and an extended product range of almost 14,000 SKUs, including around 2,500 of Co-op’s award-winning own-label range, providing a recognised, quality brand for shoppers.

Retailers also receive a comprehensive support package and benefit from an experienced retail-focused team of industry specialists, to support them in growing their businesses.

Nisa recognises the importance of community involvement, and its retailers can support good causes in their local area through Nisa’s Making a Difference Locally charity, which has raised more than £14 million for charities and good causes throughout the UK since its formation in 2008.
