Convenience store chain Nisa is planning to open a further 400 stores this year.
The group has already added 130 new locations to its portfolio in 2023 and opened a total of 473 new stores last year.
Last month, Nisa and MPK Garages signed a deal that will see 11 of its former Morrisons Daily forecourt sites converted to Nisa over the next three months, covering areas in Bristol, Worcestershire, Yorkshire, Staffordshire and Derbyshire.
In March, Greens Retail signed a five-year deal with Nisa to open more than 20 new stores across Scotland and England.
