The Mills Group, which joined Nisa-Today's in 2004, has 27 CTNs and 51 convenience stores around the North-east of England, Cumbria, North Yorkshire, West Midlands, East Midlands and South Wales. David Pickford, sales and marketing director at Mills said: "It's great that the stores have moved back into the independent retail sector, especially in the current economic climate.
