Nikora XL is the chain’s largest store format, offering a broader food, fresh and household assortment than the standard convenience-scale Nikora stores, in floor areas reaching up to roughly 1,600 square metres.
The format gives Nikora a full weekly-shop destination at the top of its multi-format range, complementing the smaller neighbourhood supermarkets that make up most of the network.
What's good
- Extended assortment across food and household categories
- Large floor space suitable for full weekly shopping
Trade-offs
- Fewer locations than the standard format
- Large stores less convenient for quick top-up trips
