In the coming weeks, a horde of new convenience stores will open up across the capital.
Asda Express is expanding around London, with 10 new stores - set to open this Autumn.
Over a month, starting in late October, the ten new shops will open in locations across north, east, south and west London and is part of plans for 20 new stores around the UK as a whole.
The new shops will be stationed at:
- Tower Bridge
- Greenwich - South Street
- Limehouse Station
- Harringay - Green Lanes
- Finsbury Park Station
- Deptford - Landings
- Tottenham Hale West
- Crystal Palace - Anerley Road
- Harrow - Headstone Drive
- Whetstone in Barnet - High Road
Asda say the Express stores offer prices that are “notably lower than competitor convenience stores”, adding that they have picked the new store locations based on high footfall areas, near residential locations and transport hubs - so they can reach as many in-need customers as possible.
David Lepley, Chief Supply Chain Officer from Asda, said: “We’re 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.
“In just three years, we’ve grown from zero convenience stores to establishing a major presence in the channel, with almost 500 stores by the end of the year. This continued investment reflects the confidence we have in our convenience strategy and our focus on bringing Asda’s low prices to more local communities.”
Asda launched its first Express store in 2022, and then paused their Express work while it acquired and converted a number of shops from the Co-op.
They will sell convenience items, ideal for ‘top up’ shops in between the big weekly haul.
