Asda Express expansion resumes with up to 20 store openings
Asda is to resume its Express convenience store opening programme from October with the launch of up to 20 new sites.
Situated in high footfall urban areas, residential locations and transport hubs, the chosen sites will be places where the retailer has traditionally had a limited presence.
An Asda Express site will open in Castleford in early October and will be followed by launches in up to 20 further locations in the space of a month from late October onwards.
The stores usually stock up to 3,000 branded and own-label products.
Subscribe to TRBDavid Lepley, Asda chief supply chain officer, said: “We’re thrilled to kick off the next phase of our Express rollout and bring our heritage in delivering outstanding value to more locations across the UK.
“In just three years, we’ve grown from zero convenience stores to establishing a major presence in the channel, with almost 500 stores by the end of the year.
“This continued investment reflects the confidence we have in our convenience strategy and our focus on bringing Asda’s low prices to more local communities.”
