Asda Wholesale and Convenience senior director James Laws said: “We’re excited to be bringing our new convenience offering to Calne and we’re confident the store will offer customers everything they need – 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 also delighted to be welcoming 15 new colleagues to the Asda family and thank them for their hard work so far in bringing our convenience vision to life.”

The retailer opened its first standalone Asda Express convenience store in the UK in November 2022 at Sutton Coldfield in the West Midlands.

The second location was opened in Tottenham Hale, North London.
