A newly refitted Nisa Local store, located on Yokermill Road in Glasgow, has opened to the community after nine months of closure.
The Nisa store offers a vast range of services including fresh and frozen groceries, a Post Office, a dessert parlour, a Costa Coffee machine, and a hot food counter. Carol Monaghan, MP for Glasgow North-West, cut the ribbon to officially open the unit at the end of April.
Arbaaz Hayat, one of the owners of the family-run business, admitted he and his family had a specific vision for the store and have plans for expanding their portfolio in the future should the right opportunity arise. “The vision with this wasn’t just to open a shop or just to be a convenience store,” said Arbaaz. “The vision was to be a one-stop point for the community and to provide something exciting.
“We wanted to give the community options that aren’t on offer elsewhere, make it a bit of an attraction.
“I think it’s important to have somewhere where even if you come in feeling not so great, you can leave feeling bright and vibrant.
“A lot of work went into the design, layout, and lighting of the shop to make sure we created this kind of atmosphere.”
