16 May 2011 by Hamst
The signage goes up at the new Adsa store which is replacing the Netto store at the corner of Brigg Road & Station Road.
New Asda Supermarket under conversion
Last year it was announced that Asda had agreed with Dansk Supermarked A/S to purchase its fully owned subsidiary, Netto Foodstores Limited, this consisted of 194 stores. The Office of Fair Trading had confirmed the company could retain 147 of the stores, selling off the remaining 47.
Work got under way last week on converting the Scunthorpe store from Netto to an Asda Supermarket and a date of 23rd May has been given for its opening. Existing Netto staff will transfer to the new store when the changeover in complete and there will be an additional 15 new posts. It will also trade longer hours than the previous Netto store, opening times for the new supermarket will be from 8am to 8pm Monday to Friday, and 10am to 4pm on Sundays.
The new Asda supermarket is one of 147 former Netto stores which are been converted this year.
In 2005 Asda was refused planning permission to build a �45 million, 75,000sq ft shopping mall in Scunthorpe's Glebe Pit, off Normanby Road.
The Netto store was opened on 6th July 2000 on the site which was previously operated by the Co-op from 1978 to 1997, first as Leo's and then as Pioneer.
