Asda is preparing to open its first express store in Knaresborough.

The supermarket announced last year it had bought 132 Co-op stores located on petrol forecourts for its new convenience store venture.

The Co-op on Wetherby Road in Knaresborough was among those acquired.

Adverts have now appeared for staff at the site. They say successful applicants will initially be employed by Co-op before transferring to Asda on the same terms under TUPE rules.

Asda opened its first express stores in Sutton Coldfield and London last year and plans to have 300 sites operating by the end of 2026.

The express stores sell hot and cold takeaway food from brands including Leon, plus £10 meal deals for two people.

Asda hopes its expansion into the convenience store market will help it achieve its goal of overtaking Sainsbury the UK's second biggest supermarket behind Tesco.

The Stray Ferret asked Asda for further details of the Knaresborough store, including the opening date.

A spokesperson said it would be in touch as soon as it had more information to share.
