ndependent retailer Gary Batten has launched his third Nisa store in Cornwall just in time to make the most of the tourist trade as the season kicks off this Easter. Batten’s new venture, located in the village of Pentewan, is closer to the coast than his other stores and is within walking distance of four holiday sites. The 1,000sq ft former forecourt store features locally-sourced products alongside Co-op own label range. Batten said: “This new store is a
totally different ball game for me with the seasonal business, but I am really looking forward to it. “We have a fantastic range of local products with excellent baked goods, eggs, jams, which we think will sell well to the community as well as the holiday trade And we’ll also be having a full food- and drinks-to-go offer including serve over ice-cream and Co-op Meal Deals which we expect to land well with holidaymakers and day trippers.” Batten was supported by Nisa’s team
who have a wealth of experience in supplying holiday site stores. Range Implementation Manager at Nisa, Alan Carcary, said: “This store is an absolute gem and will be fantastic once everything is set up. “Gary asked for our support, and we have provided a holiday range that we know works with a seasonal audience. We will continue to monitor and tweak to get it right, making sure it works for the holidaymakers as well as the local community.”
