Nisa and TYS Retail extend partnership for another five years

Nisa and TYS Retail have extended their partnership for another five years, with plans to refurbish some stores and potentially a new dual branded store.

Marking a decade partnership between the businesses, the contract renewal aligns with TYS Retail’s future growth strategy, as it considers expanding its footprint with new stores both under the Nisa banner and potentially with a new dual branded store.

TYS Retail also announced it is going to refurbish some of its eight stores in the Peterborough area to ensure its “standards are as high as possible”.

The certainty of supply, combined with Nisa’s market-leading availability and the strong appeal of Co-op products, has been pivotal in this decision, said TYS Retail.

Since partnering with Nisa, TYS has been a true pillar of the community, donating almost £70,000 through Nisa’s Making a Difference Locally (MADL) charity.

Local sports clubs, schools, and food banks have all benefited from the chain’s charitable contributions, reinforcing its strong commitment to supporting local causes.

Siva Thievanayagam, owner of TYS Retail, expressed his satisfaction with the contract renewal: “I’ve worked with Nisa for a long time, and I couldn’t be happier to extend this relationship. The Nisa fascia is recognisable to our consumers, and everyone knows the brand very well in our area.

“The wider market has been unpredictable recently, but this contract extension with Nisa gives us the confidence to move forward and continue to grow our business. The team at Nisa has been fantastic in supporting us, and we look forward to continuing this relationship.”

Katie Secretan Nisa’s, sales & retail director, commented on the contract extension: “We’re thrilled that TYS Retail has chosen to extend their contract with us. Over the past 10 years, Nisa has built a strong relationship with Siva and the team, and we’re excited about the possibilities for further growth. We look forward to seeing how TYS Retail continues to expand in the future.”
