Andy Perry, Asda's Vice President of Convenience, said: "ASDA's significant investment in building a nationwide chain of convenience stores is a key component of our long-term strategy to become the number two player in UK grocery. 

"February is a transformational month for the programme with a record number of store openings and conversion of all former Co-op sites to Asda Express sites. 

"The teams have worked at pace to reach this point and we look forward to bringing ASDA's quality and low prices to many more communities across the UK."

The openings come as part of the supermarket chain's £2.07bn acquisition of EG Group, which will see Asda take over hundreds of new convenience stores at EG Sites.
