Nisa Local Sneyd Green 1

A new Nisa Local store has opened its doors in Stoke-on-Trent, led by experienced retailer Waran Theepan, marking his fifth store in his two-decade career and his second Nisa fascia store.

The Sneyd Green store, previously a Co-op, underwent a swift transformation after Waran took over in early July. With support from Nisa, Waran successfully opened the store by mid-August, maintaining much of the original layout while preparing to introduce new services and product lines in the coming weeks.

The new Nisa store continues to offer a broad selection of Co-op own brand products, which have already proven popular with local shoppers. In addition, Waran is introducing new features such as a fresh bakery section, an ATM and a food-to-go area.

Waran Theepan said: “We’re excited to get up and running so quickly thanks to Nisa’s support. We’ve kept the store’s core plan intact for now but have plans to bring in fresh offerings to better serve our customers. Our goal is to provide a variety of products to meet the diverse needs of the community while ensuring great value.”
