This announcement followed the news that Asda had also kicked off its program to convert 116 convenience Co-op petrol stations to its Asda Express convenience brand.
The newly converted Asda Express stores stock up to 3,000 branded and own-label products to suit a broad range of customer needs including ‘top up’ shops for essential items such as milk and bread, grabbing lunch on the go or cooking dinner from scratch.
An Asda spokesperson said: “This acceleration into convenience plays a key role in our ambition to grow our share and become the number two supermarket in the UK. We look forward to bringing Asda’s great value fuel and groceries to more communities across the UK as we continue our rollout in the coming months.2
The stores opening can be found in all corners of the UK – in locations such as Durham, Stoke, Birmingham, Manchester, Halifax and Bournemouth.
