Asda over the Early May Bank Holiday

Customers can shop with ease on May 5, 2025, as Asda has confirmed that it will not be adjusting its opening times over the Early May Bank Holiday.

But because the holiday coincides with many of the UK's Victory in Europe (VE) Day celebrations, some local stores may operate under different hours.

It’s also worth checking if your local 24-hour shop will stay open over the bank holiday.

Asda's business hours vary depending on location, so customers are advised to check the supermarket's store locater tool for the most up-to-date information: .

Asda's incredible history

Asda was originally a butchers owned by the Squith family in Wakefield, West Yorkshire.

In the 1920s, they expanded their business to seven butchers in their area before partnering with a group of dairy farmers.

The shop became Associated Dairies and Farm Stores Ltd and quickly became a leading UK supermarket.

In 1999, Asda was acquired by Walmart in a £6.7billion deal.
