The Asda Food Hub will be trialled in the retailer’s Leicester and Dagenham stores initially and will see a brand-new concession at the front of store serving barista style coffees alongside premium grab and go options like sandwiches and cakes that are freshly prepared in store.
The food on offer will change throughout the day, providing tasty breakfast, lunch and afternoon snack solutions and there will be a host of exciting meal deals on offer.
Shoppers can get their hands on a breakfast sandwich and any regular hot drink for £3 to kick start their day, or if they’re after something to switch up their lunch break, shoppers can enjoy a freshly made baguette and any regular hot drink for just £4.50.
The Food Hub will also provide a modern and welcoming new look and feel as shoppers enter the store, and shoppers can place their orders using touch screen tablets for a quick and efficient service.
The decision to bring this offering to stores forms part of Asda’s broader strategy to become the UK’s number two supermarket by bringing Asda’s great quality and value to more customers in a way that’s more convenient for them. Should the concept perform well, the retailer plans to roll out to further stores in the UK with a high footfall driven by the food to go mission.
