Overview

  • The programme resumes with a Castleford opening in early October 2025, followed by roughly 21 further sites across the UK from late October within a month.
  • Asda published the planned locations, including London’s Tower Bridge, Greenwich, Limehouse, Finsbury Park, Deptford, Tottenham Hale, Crystal Palace and Harringay, plus Manchester, Liverpool, Bradford and Wigan.
  • The expansion targets high-footfall urban areas, residential neighbourhoods and transport hubs where the retailer has historically had limited presence.
  • Asda Express stores typically offer up to about 3,000 branded and own-label products to serve top-up shopping and meals on the go.
  • The company says its convenience estate is outperforming the wider market, and it expects to reach almost 500 convenience stores by year end.
