Nisa has revamped its Evolution store format to address the main issues affecting independent retailers.
Key areas incorporated into the 3,000sq ft store being showcased at the Nisa Expo this week include:
- Delivered Services – The store features a designated collection area demonstrating how to maximise the opportunity within this rapidly growing market with numerous solutions to support our customers.
- Food-to-go – The Nisa store has maintained the modular approach for FTG solutions enabling retailers to work in the right solution for them regardless of store size. The Stoneleigh store highlights a new counter design creating a quick and efficient consumer experience and designated zones flowing around the main counter help to drive the mission-led consumer as well as maximise impulse purchases.
- Technology – This continued evolution has led to ever increasing examples of recent technology incorporated across retail. The store displays an array of solutions to help maximise sales and improve efficiencies.
- Energy efficiency and sustainability – A key focus in view of the cost-of-living crisis with this year, the store boasts a dedicated area highlighting options available to retailers and seeking the right solution for them.
- HFSS – the store has been designed and ranged with this in mind. Gondola ends and displays in high footfall areas have been used to demonstrate how best to range products, in-aisle HFSS compliant bays, signposting and information help educate retailers and offer suggestions on the best way to display impacted products with a particular focus on seasonal activity.
- Co-op own brand – The store is ranged with more than 1,200 Co-op own label products using latest Nisa planograms to illustrate how the range complements the branded ranges throughout the store.
Darren May, Head of Format at Nisa said: “The cost-of-living crisis is impacting on retailers as well as consumers and while we are still seeing investment being made in stores, we understand the challenges facing retailers today and want to support them in maximising their investment.
“Through the Stoneleigh store we hope to demonstrate a choice of solutions for our customers to ensure operating efficiency while still delivering the right consumer experience, keeping our retailers at the forefront of the market and helping them to remain the destination store.”
