    Amacor races to store number 16

    Fast-growing Amacor Capital Limited has signed a deal which sees them take on their third former Co-op site last week.

    The new store, located on Chester Road in Garden Village, Wrexham, will be the 16th for the group, getting them closer to their target of 20 stores by the end of the year.

    Amacor took on two other former Co-op stores last month in Bradford and Newton-le-Willows, their 14th and 15th store respectively.

    The Nisa partner has fitted the latest store with a Nisa Local fascia and services including Costa Coffee, Tango Ice Blast and Paypoint are to be added alongside the existing Post Office.

    The range is also set to be expanded to include more Welsh products, linking in with local suppliers as well as refining the Co-op own brand offer previously available.

    Scott Sandford, head of retail at Amacor, said: “It’s been another really fast turnaround for us, completing the deal and re-launching within two days and that is part of our strategy.

    “As we are getting more familiar with the Co-op set up, we’re able to reduce the time we need to get the store ready, closing and re-opening as soon as possible.

    “Our focus is on ensuring our customers experience minimal disruption and when they walk into their new store, they’re met with the same friendly staff and an even better range of products and services.”

    Established in 2018, Amacor aims to grow their portfolio of stores to 20 by the end of the year. They joined Nisa as a key account in the summer of 2019.
