Asda’s area manager, Chris Tilly, said: "Despite being a small Asda supermarket, we think customers are going to be delighted with the new store.

“We hope they will be bowled over by the range and there will be no price premium for anything we sell.”  

Customers can expect to find Asda’s full range of own label brands, including Chosen by You, Smart Price and Extra Special.

The new supermarket will also house PayPoint, lottery and cash machines.  

Regular Netto customers can expect to see familiar faces at the refurbished store as all of the existing store workers will be transferred over to the new chain after a week-long training programme.
