One of the UK's biggest convenience store chains is reportedly under investigation for hiking prices during the coronavirus pandemic.
Nisa, which has more than 2,500 independently owned local stores in the country, has been contacted by the Competitions and Markets Authority (CMA) over pricing complaints.
From March 10 to April 19, the CMA, which manages retail competition in the UK, received almost 21,000 complaints about retailers inflating prices during the coronavirus crisis.
It said companies who exploit vulnerable shoppers during the pandemic could face legal action and even prosecution. In total, the CMA's taskforce has reportedly written to 187 traders after receiving 2,500 complaints about price rises.
