New campus shop Nisa has taken over the two Costcutter stores on Heslington West with a combined turnover of £3 million, it’s been revealed.
The Halifax College and Market Square branches were changed over the New Year in what the University’s commercial director, Jon Greenwood, has described as cutting out the “middle man.”
He told The Grocer: “We have cut out the middle charge from Costcutter by joining Nisa, and therefore we can ensure we are offering the best deals.”
The company is preparing to open its third store on Heslington East after bosses announced last year that they were looking to build on pre-tax profits of £3.3 million.
Nisa recently received over 100 complaints following a grammar bungle on an in-store sign.
