New convenience store opens in heart of Kirkcaldy High Street

The doors have opened to a new Nisa convenience store in the heart of Kirkcaldy’s town centre - bringing a long-standing empty unit back into use, and creating new jobs.

Nisa retailer Imran Haqqan has refurbished the building at 180 High Street which was last used as a temporary base for the town’s library a decade ago. Eight staff have been employed in the store which sits within the heart of the pedestrianised zone.

The store operates seven days per week until late evening to give people a chance to shop after work. It stocks everything from groceries to newspapers, flowers, chocolates as well as bread and cakes.

Imran, who is running the new store, said: “We chose to have the shop on the High Street as we feel it was lacking a good convenience store. We want to help bring life back to the street as well.

“We feel everyone has to do their part to get our High Street great again - and this is ours. We will be offering a wide range of groceries such as newspapers, Tobacco, alcohol, fruit, veg, toys, snacks and chocolate, flowers, frozen and chilled food, toiletries, bread and cakes. We also have food to go, click and collect services, tango ice blast machine, costa machine, lottery and PayPoint.

“We are open every day 7:00pm to- 10:00pm. This also gives customers the chance to pop in after work as no other shops on the High Street are open as late.”
