Asda Sets March 12 Opening for First of 10 Standalone George Stores in 2026

The rollout follows successful 2025 pilots in Leeds and Hull to position George as a standalone destination.

Overview

  • The first 2026 site opens at 9am on Thursday, March 12 at Brotherhood Shopping Park in Peterborough after converting from an Asda Living store.
  • Asda confirmed a 10-store conversion program for 2026, with remaining locations to be decided and announced individually.
  • Each site will be dedicated to George clothing and homeware, expanding womenswear, menswear, childrenswear and the George Home assortment.
  • The concept introduces a contemporary layout with streamlined self-scan checkouts and a simplified, more convenient click-and-collect service.
  • Asda says the Leeds and Hull concept stores drew an overwhelmingly positive response, and George managing director Liz Evans called Peterborough a key milestone in the rollout.
