A second Nisa Express store has opened in Liverpool city centre, just months after the launch of the region’s first branch under the fascia.

Abdullah Mohammed and business partner Sam Nahshall, who have 15 years of retail experience, opened the new store near Mathew Street – a high-footfall tourist area known for its Beatles heritage.

The site offers an extensive range of food-to-go options, world foods, and Co-op own-brand products.

Open 24 hours a day, the shop also features Lavazza coffee, Rollover hotdogs and a two-metre souvenir gift section.

The pair’s first Nisa Express is located near the passport office and Radisson Hotel, with plans in place for a third site near Liverpool John Moores University.

Mohammed said the addition of the Co-op range gives the store a “real point of difference”.

“There’s nothing quite like this store in the area,” he added. “We’ve created something unique, combining convenience with carefully selected ranges to serve tourists, city workers and local residents.”

Nahshall added: “This expansion marks another step forward in our journey, and we’re proud to be working in partnership with Co-op Wholesale as the home of Nisa. Together, we look forward to delivering more of what our customers love to new locations across Liverpool and beyond.”

Taranjit Singh Dhillon, head of retail at Co-op Wholesale, said: “We’re thrilled to see Abdullah and Sam grow with the Nisa Express format. Their stores are brilliant examples of how local entrepreneurs can use our support and the strength of the Nisa and Co-op brands to create tailored offers for their communities.”
