As part of the partnership, LA Foods relaunched its Nisa store in Queens Crescent

LA Foods has extended its long-term contract with Co-op Wholesale for a further five years.

The convenience retailer, which operates 13 Nisa stores across London, said the extension meant it could continue benefiting from Co-op Wholesale’s competitive pricing, availability, and own-brand range.

As part of the partnership, which has been running for more than 25 years, LA Foods relaunched its Nisa store in Queens Crescent, marking a “significant investment in the local community and retail experience”, it said.

The new store has moved from its previous location across the road into a larger, modern space, enabling LA Foods to enhance its offering as a “comprehensive grocery destination”.

A key improvement is the extensive produce range at the entrance designed to “inspire customers with convenient meal solutions and encouraging increased basket spend”.

Other improvements include an expanded chilled range, the introduction of electronic shelf-edge labels (ESLs) to streamline operations and improve pricing accuracy, as well as a food-to-go solution packed with Co-op own-brand products and an in-store coffee offer.

To celebrate the opening, LA has also donated £3,500 from the funds raised through Co-op Wholesale’s charity partner Making a Difference Locally to Eleanor Palmer Primary School and a further £1,000 to Gospel Oak Primary School.

“We are pleased to share that LA Foods Group has chosen to extend its contract with us for a further five years,” said Co-op Wholesale partnerships and sales director Paul Webster.

“We look forward to supporting the growth of additional Nisa-affiliated stores in the future. We have built a great collaborative partnership with LA Foods and its team, and we are confident this will continue to go from strength to strength in the years ahead.”

LA Foods director Tabrez Hussain added: “We’re delighted to extend our contract with Co-op Wholesale and strengthen our long-standing partnership. We’re confident in their strong brand offering and support for our upcoming stores, which will further enhance our customer experience and benefit local communities.”
