Asda Express has officially opened its brand new store in Castleford.

The Castleford store is the first of up to 20 new Express stores set to open across the UK before the end of the year, as the retailer sets out to bring unbeatable value to new communities across the UK.

Located on at the site of the former New Airedale pub on Holywell Lane, the new Asda Express Castleford store has been transformed from a former pub into a modern convenience store, bringing Asda’s low prices and wide product range to the local community.
