Londis has signed up independent CTN chain Leda Stores to trade under the Londis fascia as it makes the transition to convenience. Leda owns 36 stores across the UK with up to 10 stores earmarked for the first wave of conversion. Leda's 1,000 sq ft store at Biggin Hill doubled its turnover three days after it reopened as a Londis c-store, and owner Nury Abdussamad is now installing EPoS to link up the store estate. Londis is also "aggressively marketing" its new trading format for larger stores. Retailers in Pembrokeshire, Wiltshire and Reading have signed up to the new supermarket package, which includes an expanded range, leaflet driven promotions and the opportunity to buy into multi branch store technology. {{NEWS }}
