A new Asda Express store will also be opening at Manchester Oxford Road in the coming months
Asda has begun converting some 116 Co-op sites into Asda Express convenience stores across the UK. Bosses have now confirmed the first 11 locations to be transformed.
The supermarket giant acquired a total of 132 sites from the Co-op last year in a £438m deal as part of its long-term strategy to become the UK’s second largest supermarket. Another 105 of its new Asda Express stores - which include attached petrol station forecourts - are due to open by the end of March 2024.
The converted Asda Express sites will stock up to 3,000 branded and own-label products, including ‘top ups' for essential items such as milk and bread, grabbing lunch on the go or cooking dinner from scratch.Mohsin Issa, Asda’s co-owner, said: “The launch of our conversion programme is an incredibly exciting moment for our business and accelerates our presence in the fast-growing convenience market.
The supermarket also has three stand-alone Express stores located in Sutton Coldfield, Tottenham Hale in London and Calne in Wiltshire. New sites at Manchester Oxford Road and Romford Station are due to open in the coming months.
