Nisa removes fuel levy, extends pricing campaign

Nisa has kicked off 2025 with a major boost for its retail partners, by removing the fuel levy and extending its pricing campaign, in a move which reflects the wholesalers’ commitment to strengthen its proposition and support its retailers through a challenging economic environment.

The fuel levy, which was first introduced in January 2022, has been removed from today (10) to help its retailers manage high operating costs.


Fluctuating in line with the volatile fuel industry, Nisa dropped its fuel levy down to £3.66 per delivery in October 2024, for the first time in over year.

Katie Secretan, Retail & Sales Director at Nisa, said: “Retailers continue to be faced with increasing operating costs, and alongside the highly competitive convenience market, this is causing further erosion to their profit margins.

"It’s our absolute priority to drive more value for our partners, and the removal of this charge will allow our retailers to invest these vital funds into their businesses, so they can continue to serve their communities for years to come.”

To further support its retailers, Nisa is continuing its Mega Deals pricing campaign into 2025, giving access to weekly market-leading prices across footfall driving products.

Originally launched to help partners capitalise on the festive trading period, the Mega Deals campaign has proven to be a big success, which featured more than 200 products since its launch in October.

Secretan added, “Our goal is to ensure Nisa retailers remain well-stocked with the most popular and in demand products, at the best price on the market, to drive footfall and sales and ultimately increase their profitability.”

Powered by the trusted Co-op Group, Nisa supports independent retailers with tailored solutions to help them thrive in today’s market. This includes access to Co-op’s market leading and multi-award-winning own brand range, delivered through consistently strong levels of availability.
