\n The supermarket chain is opening 20 convenience stores across the country before the end of the year.\n<\/p>\n
\n The first Asda Express will launch in Castleford in early October, with the north London branches following later in the month.\n<\/p>\n
\n These will be located in Green Lanes, Finsbury Park Station, High Road, Tottenham Hale West, and Headstone Drive.\n<\/p>\n
\n The stores will offer around 3,000 products.\n<\/p>\n
\n Asda Express stores are part of a rapid expansion plan by Asda, which acquired 469 convenience store and fuel sites from the Co-op and EG Group.\n<\/p>\n
\n David Lepley, chief supply chain officer, said: “We\u2019re thrilled to kick off the next phase of our Express rollout and bring our heritage in delivering outstanding value to more locations across the UK.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cIn just three years, we\u2019ve grown from zero convenience stores to establishing a major presence in the channel, with almost 500 stores by the end of the year.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cThis continued investment reflects the confidence we have in our convenience strategy and our focus on bringing Asda\u2019s low prices to more local communities.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n The convenience store expansion comes as Asda recently announced plans to refurbish 180 of its in-store cafes as part of a \u00a3180million investment.\n<\/p>\n
\n The upgrades will see the introduction of digital ordering screens and a table ordering service, which will be available alongside manned tills.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The supermarket chain is opening 20 convenience stores across the country before the end of the year.
