Nisa Local

Ian

There is a new store opening on Clifton Terrace - Wells Terrace exit to FP station where the printers used to be. (You know the printers - where all the letters were different sizes in their sign giving no confidence they wouldn't mess up your printing job). They also have the shop next door. I've always thought that bit of the road was ripe for a decent convenience store for people coming out of the station. Somewhere you can get enough for a meal without having to go to Tesco. I have no idea whether Nisa is that store, but from a quick skim through their website I have found that "the Nisa Symbol Group is celebrating after being named the Best Symbol Retailer 2010 at him’s! Convenience Tracking Programme (CTP) Awards, held in a Big Top in central London". I think the big top in London is relevant as it shows they have made it. Also their distribution centre is in Stoke on Trent, my home town. Perhaps they will stock North Staffordshire Oatcakes. Or at least allow me to have a couple of packs of them put on the van every week.

Wrights Pies and Uncle Joes mintballs, too, I hope, Duck. Used to get 'em when I went up 'anley and Tunstall.

@ Ian - Neal's Yard Dairy sells those oatcakes (about a pound for a pack of 6, I think, so not too extortionate). Delicious.

I've noticed they've been expanding a lot in North London lately, a couple sprung up around Cally Rd. I'd always thought of them as a provincial retailer, but good luck to 'em - though I imagine the little shop opposite won't be too happy, and I have some sympathy for them as one of the few local retailers of picked onion flavour Walkers crisps.

I have always thought they are a bit like the co-op but with some quite localised produce which will be interestin seeing where it is

Ian

@Liz thanks - I'll have to start venturing there on my way back from work. @philistine - I always connect Uncle Joe's with Bolton as my granny there used to always have a jar of them in the house.

Is this where the comic shop used to be as well? This could work rather well, pick up some fruit and veg from the station lady and the rest from Nisa and no need for that horrible Tesco Express. Anyone know if its pronounced Nicer or Neesa?

tosscat

I think it's pronounced Nicer. It used to be awful, a kind of downmarket Spar, I can't imagine it being any better than the other shop on Wells Terrace, although it could be cheaper.

Tallboy

In Newcastle we say Neesa.

tosscat

And in areas of south London they say Preemark - it doesn't make it right.

Ali

The Kelso branch is Neesa, this si a bit like Lidle or Liddle

The Nisa group sells more coca cola than any other retailer in the UK. Well, five years ago they did. Thier MD said so.

RobYeah?

The lights are on in Nisa tonight! Blimey, they are bright! Cant be long now...

Ali

It is on the Nisa Store locator as XPRESS SUPERSAVE LTD, there is also one on Junction Road near to Archway

adamski122

yeah its not much to look at that Nisa, but perhaps more exciting is the opening of Sainsbury in place of the much loved Woody's... there is a planning application on the door with their name on...

Prob the best consequence is that tesco won't be so busy in the evening now everyone will flock to Sainsbury

Ian

I just popped into Nisa Local. It looks ok but the aisles are so close together it freaked me out a bit. It would probably be a good place to shoot a video.

ADGS

But it's not as if the area is short of those...
