Asda opening times vary across the country, so we’ve checked a few stores to give you an idea of what to expect
Asda opening times will be a little different this weekend due to the Easter bank holidays.
This year, Good Friday falls on April 3, Easter Sunday is on April 5 and Easter Monday is on April 6. Asda opening times do vary across the country, so we’ve checked a few stores using the supermarket’s website to give you an idea of what to expect.
It appears most larger Asda stores will open under their normal hours on Good Friday. Again, opening times do vary massively – some are open 24 hours, while others open at 6am or 7am, and shut between 10pm and midnight.
It looks like opening times for larger stores are also going to be the same for Easter Saturday – most of the time, this is typically from 6am or 7am until around 10pm or 11pm.
Large shops have to close on Easter Sunday by law, except in Scotland, and this is no exception for Asda. Its large stores will be shut on Easter Sunday in England and Wales, but will remain open in Scotland.
Then on Easter Monday, the majority of large Asda stores will run under slightly shorter opening times of 8am until 10pm. Smaller Asda Express stores will operate under their normal opening times for the entire Easter weekend.
Unlike larger shops, small stores are allowed to open on Easter Sunday. Some Asda Express sites are open 24 hours, while others appear to be open from 7am until midnight.
Make sure you check the exact times of your local store before you make the journey down to avoid disappointment.
It comes after the boss of Asda said the supermarket has “plenty to do” in its turnaround after revealing a slump in sales and earnings over the past year.
Asda revealed last week that sales, excluding fuel, dropped by 3.3% to £21billion in 2025, compared with a year earlier. Adjusted earnings tumbled by a third to £764million for the year.
The retailer is in the middle of a major turnaround under returning boss Allan Leighton, after losing share in the UK grocery market to rivals including Tesco, Sainsbury’s and Lidl.
However, transformation efforts were set back by a botched £1billion IT upgrade last year. Mr Leighton, executive chairman of the business, said sales declined 2.4% in the final quarter of last year as it continued to feel the impact of the IT disruption.
However, he said the business now has “positive momentum” and is returning to sales growth. He said: “There is plenty to do but there is also plenty of upside. We have that momentum and a strong balance sheet to allow us to push forward.”
