About the title[edit]

Should this be called "Nisa-today" or simply "Nisa"? None of the Nisas I have known have had the word "Today" in their title.ACEOREVIVED (talk) 19:34, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The nearest one to where I live is called "Nisa-Local" not "Nisa Today". ACEOREVIVED (talk) 15:01, 2 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nisa (retailer)

Nisa Retail Limited (/ˈnaɪ.sʌ/, NEYE-suh [6]; formerly Nisa-Today's) is a brand and buying group (or "symbol group") of independent retailers (primarily small grocery shops) and wholesalers in the United Kingdom. It is a mutual organisation owned by its members and operating "...like a co-operative, using the collective buying power of the large group of members to negotiate deals with suppliers". [7] Its headquarters and ambient distribution depot are located in Scunthorpe, North Lincolnshire. It also has distribution depots for temperature controlled products at Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire and Harlow, Essex.

As of 2018, Nisa Retail Limited represents over 1,300 registered shareholders operating over 3,500 convenience stores and small supermarkets [4], including CK Foodstores in Wales. [8] According to Company Accounts submitted for year ending on 31 March 2017, Nisa Retail Limited has an estimated net worth of approximately £30million [9]. In 2011, Nisa Retail Limited opened its new distribution centre for Scotland in Livingston.

History

The present organisation can trace its history back to 1977 when Peter Garvin, a Yorkshire-based retailer, met Dudley Ramsden, a wholesaler whose family owned a supermarket in Grimsby. The company was called the Northern Independent Supermarkets Association and comprised thirty retailers, with a turnover of £20 million. Garvin had established NISA some years earlier as a means of fighting the larger supermarket chains of the time but had struggled with the format and future growth. A chance meeting with Ramsden at an industry gathering at a hotel in Bawtry allowed Ramsden to see the potential of the idea [10]

Acquisition

Nisa has been purchased by the Co-operative Group after a takeover deal was agreed in November 2017. [11]

Reply[edit]

Partly done Proposed changes which were referenced only by the company itself would not be an improvement to the article, and were declined. Other requested texts are already evident in the article. The revenue in the infobox was updated. Regards, Spintendo ᔦᔭ 02:58, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
