Asda will be opening 116 new Asda Express stores over the next few months with 11 stores already open.

The new sites will all be old Co-op forecourts. which the supermarket chain bought last year. Asda took over a total of 132 Coop forecourts last year in a deal worth £438million as part of its plan to become the UK's second-largest supermarket chain and grow in the convenience store sector.

Between now and next March, 116 former Co-op sites are set to be converted into Asda Express sites with 11 having already opened and the further 105 set to open across the first few months of 2024.

The first 11 sites have opened in Yorkshire, Leicestershire, Lancashire, Somerset London, Scotland, and Devon. As part of the take over of shops around 2,300 workers currently employed by Co-op stores will transfer to Asda.

The converted Asda Express sites will stock around 3,000 branded and own-label products which it says will be 8.9% cheaper than prices at the previous Co-op store.

Asda praised over inclusive kids clothing range with holes for feeding tubes

Mohsin Issa, Asda’s co-owner, said: “The launch of our conversion programme is an incredibly exciting moment for our business and accelerates our presence in the fast-growing convenience market. We look forward to bringing Asda’s great value in fuel and groceries to many more communities across the UK and to welcoming over 2,000 former Co-op colleagues to the Asda family in the coming months."
