Convenience chain LA Foods Group extends Nisa contract

Nisa said it has renewed its contract with convenience chain LA Foods Group for a further five years.

LA Foods Group has now been working alongside Nisa for over 20 years, with 16 London-based stores currently under the Nisa fascia. In 2021, LA Foods Group opened Nisa’s 1000th symbol store in Camden.

A true community-based retailer, LA Foods Group have donated almost £70,000 to date through Nisa’s Making a Difference Locally (MADL) charity with local sports clubs, schools and foodbanks just some of those benefiting from the initiative.

Haroon Hussain, shareholder at LA Foods Group, shared he was pleased with the contract extension and LA Group were considering developing more stores with Nisa in the future.

“One of the reasons behind extending the contract is the certainty of supply and product availability at Nisa. We haven’t had any issues with deliveries and the Co-op own brand products were also an appealing factor,” Hussain said.

“Although the wider market has been a little strange recently, we feel that the contract extension with Nisa is a step forward and gives us the certainty to start growing our business. We have had a lot of support whilst working with the team at Nisa who have provided a great service, and I hope this will continue.”

Victoria Lockie, head of retail at Nisa, expressed enthusiasm for the continued work with LA Foods Group.

“I’m thrilled that LA Foods Group have decided to extend their contract with us for a further five years. We look forward to continuing to build our relationship with LA Group and hopefully see more Nisa affiliated stores open in the future,” Lockie said.

“We have enjoyed working with Haroon and the team over the last 20 years and look forward to see how the group expands in the future.”
