Asda has today announced plans to open its first two standalone convenience stores before Christmas, under a new ‘Asda Express’ brand, bringing Asda value and products to more local communities across the UK.
The Asda Express stores will open at Sutton Coldfield on November 8 and Tottenham Hale, London, on December 6, creating 37 new jobs in the local communities they serve.
Asda plans to launch a further 30 sites, creating about 500 new roles, next year, as part of a ‘test & learn’ approach to developing its convenience model – a key element of Asda’s strategic vision to become the UK’s second largest supermarket.
