Asda to close 'loss-making' Bristol store within months

Asda is gearing up to close two of its stores by the end of the summer, the supermarket has announced. The retailer has said its Asda Living stores, selling clothes, homeware, kitchenware, furnishings, and electronics would go, saying they had been operating at a loss for multiple years.

The sites to go include the Asda Living store in Eastgate Retail Park in Eastville, alongside the chain's Wrexham site at Island Green Retail Park, which is set to close on Monday, July 31. No date has been announced for the closure of the Bristol store, though it is expected to close this summer, BirminghamLive reports.

The closures come after bosses admit they have been "running at a loss" for a number of years. Earlier this year, the grocer launched a consultation on the future of the Wrexham store.
