Amacor continues to aim high

Acquisitive convenience retailer AMACOR Capital is on the hunt for the next stores to add to their collection with sights set firmly on the future.

The group, a Nisa Retail key account partner since June 2018, made four acquisitions in quick succession during May and June, launching all four stores in record time under the Nisa Local fascia.

The sites in Hebden Bridge, Bradford, Newton-le-Willows and Wrexham, include three former Co-op stores.

Head of Acquisitions at AMACOR, Alex Wilson, said: “We completed the sales, re-branded and launched our last four stores, each in a very short spell of time and the team has done incredibly well to get all stores integrated and trading under the Nisa fascia."

“We are delighted to add these sites to our growing estate taking the total number to 16 and look forward to serving the local communities.”

A number of new services have been introduced across the new stores including Costa Express, FWIP and Tango Ice Blast, all of which have been well received by customers and helped to attract additional and new footfall.

Having established the new stores into the portfolio the team is seeking the next opportunity.

“We have a healthy pipeline and are actively looking for new sites across the North of England, Midlands and North Wales with ambitions to surpass 30 stores by the end of next year,” said Alex.

Nisa’s Head of Retail, Victoria Lockie said: “Working with such ambitious and progressive retailers like AMACOR is really exciting and the pace at which acquisitions are made and stores start trading is really fantastic. We wish the team luck in the expansion of their estate and look forward to supporting them along the way.”
