Asda announces list of 22 new stores opening by end of 2025
Asda plans to open 22 new Express stores across the UK by 2025, focusing on underserved urban and transport locations to grow its convenience market presence.
- Asda will resume its Express rollout in early October, opening an Asda Express in Castleford followed by 21 more UK locations within a month, totaling more than 20 new stores.
- Having converted acquired sites, Asda paused standalone Express openings while converting 469 stores acquired from The Co‑op and EG Group after three years of rapid convenience growth.
- The convenience format stocks up to 3,000 products, including fresh, ambient and chilled ranges with Asda's premium Extra Special brand to meet diverse grocery needs.
- The openings extend Asda's reach into urban areas, residential locations and transport hubs, where Asda said its convenience stores had "struck a chord with shoppers" and were "outperforming the wider convenience market."
- The near‑term plan schedules 21 further sites to complete the 22‑store push, complementing Asda's national convenience footprint of almost 500 stores with sample locations including Tower Bridge and Manchester.
