Independent convenience store group Amacor Capital has bought its 17th store, a Nisa Local in Denby Dale, near Huddersfield.

A Nisa partner for the three years, Amacor targets existing sites to take over and the group is aiming for a total of more than 30 stores in the next 12 months.

Alex Wilson, Amacor’s head of acquisitions, said: “We’re delighted to get this sale over the line and make it our seventeenth store for the group and number five for the year.

“We’ll be keeping the same in-store team with one of the existing members of staff being promoted to the store manager role, meaning shoppers will not only continue to be able buy the same great products but they’ll also see the same friendly faces.”

Plans to further develop the store and its offer over the coming weeks and months include the installation of a coffee machine and the introduction of newspaper sales.
