Located at Baynards Green Services in Bicester, the 2,723ft2 store houses more than 1,300 branded and own-label products.
The new location also features Greggs and Leon kiosks.
The store is the third Asda On the Move site in the local area and is open on a 24-hour basis.

These stores feature up to 2,500 branded and Asda-own label products, as well as a range of partner spaces for brands, including Starbucks, Greggs, Subway and Cinnabon.

Asda wholesale & convenience senior director James Laws said: “The opening of the 150th Asda On the Move store marks a significant milestone in our ongoing expansion into the convenience market to bring Asda’s value and great products to more customers across the UK.

We’re delighted to bring our modern and welcoming convenience store offering to Baynards Green Services.”
