Nisa has entered the college retail sector after securing the University of York as a new member.

The retailer has taken over two former Costcutter stores on campus with a combined turnover of £3m, and is set to open a third at the university. “We have cut out the middle charge from Costcutter by joining Nisa, and therefore we can ensure we are offering the best deals,” said University Of York commercial director Jon Greenwood.
