A supermarket giant revealed it will open a new convenience store in Glasgow this month. 

Asda plans to convert 109 former convenience stores acquired from the Co-op and EG Group to Asda Express this month as part of a multi-million-pound investment.

Of these stores, one will be located in the city's Anniesland at 289 Bearsden Road.

Asda Express stores will stock up to 3,000 branded and own-label products to suit customers, from essential items for ‘top-up’ shops to grabbing lunch on the go or cooking dinner from scratch.

Andy Perry, Asda’s vice president of convenience, said: “Asda’s significant investment in building a nationwide chain of convenience stores is a key component of our long-term strategy to become the number two player in UK grocery.

"February is a transformational month for programme with a record number of store openings and conversion of all former Co-op sites to Asda Express sites.

"The teams have worked at pace to reach this point and we look forward to bringing Asda’s quality and low prices to many more communities across the UK."
