ADDA has announced the launch of a £50 million store upgrade programme aimed at improving the shopping experience of customers in its larger stores.

The programme will run across 170 stores in total, with the retailer anticipating that the programme will be completed by the end of November.

A range of upgrades will come as a result of the work, including new foyers, flooring, and lighting, as well as improved toilet facilities, refreshed exterior and interior decoration, and new counters, trolley bays, signage, and aisles.

Ian Brackenbury, senior director of construction and implementation, at Asda, said, “We are always looking at ways in which we can improve the overall experience for our customers and this program is one of the many ways we are actively doing that.

“Starting with our supermarkets and superstores, this significant investment allows us to upgrade our stores by launching new and exciting services, whilst making significant improvements to the existing components of our established stores.

“This program marks another exciting milestone moment for us on our journey and underpins our continued commitment to ensuring Asda is set up for long term success.”
