Asda to Install Up to 700 Self‑Service Laundry Units Across UK Stores

The move signals a push to fold more everyday services into weekly shops.

Overview

  • Asda, in a partnership announced Friday with ME Group, will add up to 700 Wash. ME laundry machines across the UK with installations starting in May.
  • The machines will appear at Supercentres, Superstores, supermarkets and Express sites, letting shoppers wash and dry clothes during a grocery trip.
  • Each unit offers 9kg and 20kg drums, energy‑efficient wash cycles and high‑speed drying, and many locations will provide 24/7 access.
  • Asda has not published a store list because surveys are under way to confirm which sites can host the equipment and provide round‑the‑clock access.
  • ME Group calls this its largest laundry‑division client deal and cites rapid growth in 2025, with both companies outlining bigger installation goals for 2026 and beyond.
