Asda opens 110 new convenience stores and are planning to reach 1,000 shops across the UK as part of a multimillion-pound investment.
The supermarket chain are aiming to be the second largest grocery retailer in the UK and all 470 convenience stores acquired from the Co-op and EG Group into the express sites by March.
Andy Perry, vice president of convenience at Asda, said, “Asda’s significant investment in building a nationwide chain of convenience stores is a key component of our long-term strategy to become the number two player in UK grocery.
“February is a transformational month for the programme with a record number of store openings and conversion of all former Co-op sites to Asda Express sites.
“Our teams have worked at pace to reach this point and we look forward to bringing Asda’s quality and low prices to many more communities across the UK.”
