Asda Express has launched two new stores, taking its total number of convenience stores to more than 500.
The business has opened a new shop in Bradford in the converted old Hare and Hounds pub on Toller Lane.
It also launched a store in Salford, located on Norton Street close to Salford Central train station.
The new stores support the supermarket’s ambition to strengthen its presence in high-footfall urban areas, residential neighbourhoods, and transport hubs.
The grocery giant said it had “a strong pipeline” of new stores also set to open later in the year.
Asda Express vice president, foodservice and fuel Joseph Sutton said: “We’re excited to kick off the year by opening two brand-new Asda Express stores, building on our fantastic momentum from 2025.
“In under five years, we’ve built a nationwide convenience estate of over 500 stores which is now outperforming the wider convenience market thanks to the combination of our great products and unbeatable value.
“We look forward to welcoming customers to these new stores.”
