Introducing our new store locator: are all your details up-to-date?

We’re delighted to announce a Green Room premiere! Seen here for the first time, it’s the launch of the all-new Asda store locator that many of you have worked so hard to help us create.

After our Green Room appeal a couple of weeks ago, we’ve had literally hundreds of store photos, GSM pictures, local store directions, gallery pictures and friendly welcome messages. Our final step will be to link this new store locator to the front page of asda.com, but before we do, we’d like you to make sure that all the details for your store are up-to-date.

First off, you might want to check what a store page looks like for stores that have provided everything we asked for. Our favourites so far are Hereford (thanks to June Thurston) Glasshoughton (thanks to Helen Sorrell) and Wakefield (thanks to Jo Alldridge). These stores have a photo of their GSM along with a friendly welcome message, a nice photo of the store, a gallery of other store activity photos & captions plus some easy-to-follow local driving directions.

To find your own store, simply enter your town or store name here, then select it from the list of results.


If you spot anything that’s incorrect (opening times, store facilities…anything at all) then please update the WIRE store directory update form. Or if you find that your store is missing photos, directions or a nice friendly welcome, just use the ‘Join in’ link on the right-hand side of any Green Room page and send us whatever you can – or leave us a comment below.

Thanks again to everyone who has helped. We’re sure this is going to be a huge help to our customers.

Our 4 for £3 Mix and Match deal explained


Have you seen our new ‘4 for £3’ toiletries offers yet? Customers have been asking us how the deal works, so we asked Wakefield Events Coordinator Jo Aldridge to explain.

Basically, all the items in Mix and Match have been reduced to £1. Fantastic! Even better, if customers buy four items, they only pay £3 in total, making the products an amazing 75p each!

For example, they can buy:

  • Lynx Shower gel – down from £2.28 to £1
  • Radox bubble bath – down from £1.52 to £1
  • Herbal Essence shampoos and conditioners down from £1.93 to £1
  • Colgate Toothpaste – down from £2.44 to £1


So if the customer bought these four products this week they would pay £3 instead of spending £8.17, saving them £5.17.

Shoppers in Asda Wakefield love the idea. Karen Chare said: “The mix and match idea is good simply because I wouldn’t necessarily buy four deodorants at once but I can buy a shampoo, a conditioner, a handwash and a deodorant at the same time in the same offer.”

And Brian, 38, said: “Mix and match is a great idea. You usually have to buy lots of the same product to save money and I end up throwing stuff away, but with this you can choose anything you want so long as it’s £1.”
