Asda completes Netto transformation
As Walmart prepares to release its third quarter results Asda has revealed that it will complete its conversion of the UK Netto stores it acquired from Dansk Supermarket next week.
The programme, which at its peak saw Asda close, refurbish and reopen up to eight stores each week, will finish with the opening of the last store in Southampton (UK).
On average each store closed for two weeks while the major refit took place, a programme that involved the coordination of hundreds of internal and external building, distribution, training and supply colleagues and contractors, the supermarket said.
The transformation of the Netto stores has created 2,500 new jobs in communities across England and Wales, more than 1,000 more than the 1,500 originally planned.
Karen Hubbard, Asda’s director of store proposition, said: “We knew when we set out on this journey that our goal to convert the Netto estate in such a short space of time was ambitious. It’s testament to the hard work and total dedication of the colleagues working on this programme that we have delivered on time, to budget and exceeded our own high expectations with these new stores.”
