Asda has announced plans to open its first 30 standalone convenience stores which will create 500 jobs.
Mohsin Issa, Asda's co-owner, said: "The launch of our first two Asda Express convenience stores is a landmark moment for our great business and a key step on our journey to bring Asda to more customers in more communities right across the UK.
"The stores have been designed to cater for a broad range of customer needs – whether that's popping in for a pint of milk, grabbing a spot of lunch on the go, or buying the fresh ingredients to cook dinner from scratch. ' "We're confident customers will find everything they need in these stores and enjoy the convenience of having a new type of Asda store on their doorstep.
"I'm delighted to welcome the new colleagues at Sutton Coldfield and Tottenham Hale to the Asda family – leading us on our first steps into this market and am grateful to all the colleagues who have worked with such pace and enthusiasm to bring this vision to life for Asda."They are separate from the Asda On the Move convenience sites, which are located on garage forecourts owned and operated by EG Group.
