Nisa Local moves into old Best One site in Essex

The store in South Ockenden, Essex had previously operated as a Best One but was taken over by independent retailer Henry Sudhir who extended the shop by around 200 sq ft to 935 sq ft.

This allowed the addition of a dedicated food to go offer, along with new and additional chillers.

Sudhir said: “Previously the shop had not stocked any chilled range and no alcohol and that is something we have made the most of and which customers seem to really like.

“We’ve already changed the shop layout since we opened and moved the chilled to the front of the store.

“We found customers who used to shop here before we took over didn’t realise there was a full new range available but now they see the chilled products as soon as they walk in.”

The refurbishment included new flooring and ceilings along with modern new lighting, fascia and internal signs.
