The supermarket chain confirmed on Thursday (August 28) that its Express opening programme will restart in October.
A total of 22 new sites are planned nationwide, one of which will open in Greenwich.
One of these will also open inside Deptford Landings, a new housing and retail development designed to create a modern neighbourhood in the area.
The exact opening date has not yet been revealed.
The openings will give Asda a stronger presence in town centres, residential areas, and transport hubs where the retailer has previously had fewer shops.
Each Express store stocks around 3,000 products, ranging from everyday basics like bread and milk to lunchtime snacks and ingredients for home-cooked meals.
This rollout marks a return to opening new standalone Asda Express stores and follows the successful takeover of 469 convenience and fuel sites from The Co-op and EG Group.
David Lepley, Chief Supply Chain Officer, said: “We’re thrilled to kick off the next phase of our Express rollout and bring our heritage in delivering outstanding value to more locations across the UK.
“In just three years, we’ve grown from zero convenience stores to establishing a major presence in the channel, with almost 500 stores by the end of the year.
“This continued investment reflects the confidence we have in our convenience strategy and our focus on bringing Asda’s low prices to more local communities.”
Asda launched its first Express store in 2022, before pausing the launch of standalone Express sites while it focused on converting the 469 stores acquired from the Co-op and EG Group.
