The discount-style store will be stocked primarily with Asda’s own-brand products, with over 95% of the food and drink in store carrying the Asda label. Various other branded products that Asda has deemed essential to consumers, including Marmite, Mars Bars and Coca-Cola, will also be carried.
Asda intends to open seven more Essentials stores this year, all with a floor space of around 8,000 square feet.
