Nisa advocate Highland Group has entered its five forecourts into a long-term supply agreeement with Co-op Wholesale, the re-branded Nisa Retail grocery wholesaling operation.
Three of the stores are trialling the new &Co-op fascia, and two feature the Nisa Local branding. Highland Group, which has petrol stations in Cambridshire, Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire, has worked with the business since 2020.
In a statement Co-op Whoelsale says the arrangement ”reflects Highland Group’s clear endorsement of Co-op Wholesale’s chilled food offer, the strength of its own brand range, and the commercial edge it brings in a competitive market”.
It adds: ”A recent fascia trial further demonstrated strategic alignment and set the stage for this next chapter.
”This is a bold commitment to shared growth, retail innovation, and delivering a quality offering to forecourts.”
Highland Group managing director Tom Highland says: “We’ve always believed forecourts can be destinations and this partnership gives us not only the tools but the trust to deliver on that belief.”
Managing director at Co-op Wholesale, Katie Secretan, adds: “This partnership is about redefining what modern forecourt convenience can achieve.”
