David Sands

David Sands was a convenience shop chain located in Fife, Kinross and Perthshire, Scotland. At 200 years old, the family-owned enterprise had 28 outlets at its peak. According to a 2009 article on Business7, a publication of the ''Scottish Daily Record'' and ''Sunday Mail'', the company was "a major employer across Fife and Perthshire." Its head office was located in Kinross.

On 10 January 2012 the company announced that it would be purchased by the Co-operative Group., the sale was approved by the Office of Fair Trading in April 2012, and by December 2012 the last David Sands shop was converted to a Co-operative, bringing to an end the company's 200-year existence. In October 2013 David Sands himself announced the launch of his new brand "David's Kitchen" the in-shop concept, used in the previous David Sands shops, for fresh hand made produce. David's Kitchen will trade under the Nisa brand. The first shop will open on Caskieberran Road in Glenrothes. The site was a derelict Pub which was demolished, and David's Kitchen building a brand new purpose-built modern building. Provided by Wikipedia
