The newly-opened Nisa store on Yokermill Road is more than just a convenience store – it’s a one-stop destination for the community. With services spanning fresh and frozen groceries, a Post Office, a dessert parlour, a Costa Coffee machine, and a hot food counter, the owners had a specific vision for the store and have big plans for expansion in the future.
Carol Monaghan, MP for Glasgow North-West, cut the ribbon to officially open the store in April 2023. Arbaaz Hayat, one of the family-run business’s owners, said the goal was to provide options that aren’t available elsewhere and create an atmosphere that can uplift anyone who walks through the door.
“The response has been absolutely incredible, even better than we expected,” added Hayat. “Customer feedback is very important to us and has been instrumental in expanding the store’s offerings.”
One of the biggest changes at the Yokermill Road site is the hot food counter, offering an array of fresh, tasty options including sandwiches, burgers, and freshly made samosas – handmade every day – and chips.
“The main difference that this store brings to the community is a huge selection in comparison to what was here before as well as good value,” noted Matthew Howie, Retail Development Manager at Nisa. “This store is all about community, and I’m looking forward to seeing the difference it can make using Nisa’s Making a Difference Locally charity.”
Along with an emphasis on customer satisfaction and community outreach, the Nisa store also boasts an exceptional design, layout, and lighting to create the perfect atmosphere for shoppers. As more and more people discover this exciting new destination, the owners are already considering expansion to offer their innovative concept in even more locations.
“I’m looking forward to developing more stores with the guys as well because they do have plans to do that,” affirmed Howie.
Overall, the Yokermill Road Nisa store represents a new breed of convenience stores – a place where customers can do their grocery shopping, enjoy delicious hot food, grab a treat, and feel great, too.
