ndependent convenience group Amacor Capital has added another store to it portfolio with the acquisition of a West Yorkshire business. The Nisa Local symbol store at Denby Dale, near Huddersfield, has become the 17th store for the group that operates shops across northern and central England, as well as parts of Wales. Amacor, a Nisa retailer for the past three years, primarily targets existing sites to take over and the group has ambitions to grow the business to more than 30 stores in the next 12 months. The latest store will retain its Nisa Local fascia following the sale, meaning shoppers will still be able to access the existing range including the Co-op own brand as well as the popular promotions and deals. Alex Wilson, Head of Acquisitions at Amacor, said: “We’re delighted to get this sale over the line and make it our 17th 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.” Amacor plans to install a coffee machine and to introduce newspaper sales.
