“For decades, my family has been committed to serving the Letchworth community, and this new Nisa store is an extension of that commitment,” said Monty.

“The Parade has always been the heart of this neighbourhood, and our goal with this renovation is to provide a top-quality shopping experience that meets the needs of local families, workers, and residents.”

The store has undergone a complete renovation, featuring "state-of-the-art" refrigeration, shelving, and a "fully reimagined" layout.

Energy efficient refrigeration and lighting has also been added throughout the shop.

Its offering is expanding to include a range of groceries, fresh produce and essentials, complemented by an in-store bakery and a dedicated food-to-go section - offering includes fresh coffee, pastries and Rollover hot dogs.

Through its partnership with Nisa, the store will actively support the community via the Making a Difference Locally (MADL) charity.

By selling Co-op own-brand products, a percentage of sales will be donated to MADL, funding initiatives and causes that benefit the Letchworth area.

“Giving back is central to what we do,” said Monty. “We want this store to be more than just a place to shop—we want it to be a force for good in Letchworth.

“This parade is like a little town within the town, with 8,000 to 10,000 people who all know and support each other.

“This Nisa store is our way of giving back and ensuring everyone has access to a high-quality, affordable shopping experience.”
