While specific locations for the 25 new Asda Express stores have not been officially confirmed, local media has speculated about potential site locations based on recent developments.
Asda acquired 470 sites from Co-op and EG Group between 2022 and 2023, many of which are expected to be converted into Asda Express stores.
Former Co-op convenience stores and EG Group petrol station forecourts with attached retail space are good potential candidates, as these locations are already operational or easily convertible.
Town centres that currently lack an Asda Express smaller could also be considered, as could suburban high streets with high footfall, and densely populated city neighbourhoods where large supermarkets aren’t practical
Asda scaled back its convenience store rollout in 2024 to prioritise making stores cleaner and improving product availability on shelves, opening just 12 locations, according to The Telegraph.
The renewed push now comes as part of a wider turnaround strategy under executive chairman Allan Leighton, who re-joined the company in November 2024.
