Fife based Greens Retail, formerly Eros Retail, is set to go national as it signs a five-year deal with Nisa worth up to £200m.

Currently operating 16 stores in Scotland, entrepreneur Harris Aslam has committed to opening 20 further stores across both Scotland and England.

Greens Retail runs stores varying in size from 2,000 sq ft to 6,000 sq ft and collaborates with a number of different partners, including Costa Express and Skwishee.

Harris Aslam, managing director of Greens Retail, said: “We’ve been working tirelessly to expand our portfolio and as we continue to grow at a tremendous pace, our overall aim is to innovate and redefine convenience retailing.

“Working with Nisa allows us to do this, as well as being able to offer the strongest own-brand range, which is a huge success for us at Greens. This renewed agreement allows us to continue investing in new and existing stores whilst maximising profitability and achieving a long-term commitment and certainty.”

Victoria Lockie, head of retail at Nisa, said: “At Nisa we’re passionate about being the partner of choice for retailers and wholesalers, driving mutual success and benefits. It’s been an absolute pleasure working with Harris and the team since Greens’ conception, and I’m proud to have watched them elevate their business and stand out from competitors in this tough market. We’re looking forward to seeing their big plans to come to life and are delighted they continue to choose Nisa to come on this journey with.”
