Asda to create 10,000 new jobs with rollout of 300 Express stores
Asda is accelerating its push into the convenience store market in the UK with plans to open 300 Express stores over the next four years, creating 10,000 new jobs in the process.
On the day the UK’s third largest grocer opened its second Asda Express store format, the retailer said it had plans to open 300 c-stores by 2026.
With sales in convenience stores forecast to grow by 13% to more than £50bn by 2027, the retailer said the development of a c-store network is a “key part of Asda’s long-term growth strategy to become the UK’s second-largest supermarket”.
