The Asda store commonly described as ASDA Llansamlet is officially listed as ASDA Swansea. It is the Superstore on Upper Forest Way, Swansea SA6 8PS, within the Llansamlet and Swansea Enterprise Park area.
Its biggest opening-times feature is overnight trading. The supermarket normally opens on Monday, then operates continuously through Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday before closing at 10pm on Saturday. Sunday is restricted to 10am to 4pm.
Why Searches Say Both Llansamlet and Swansea
Local shoppers often refer to the branch as Asda Llansamlet because it is in the Llansamlet area. Asda’s own store page uses the shorter name ASDA Swansea.
The address is Upper Forest Way, Swansea SA6 8PS. If you see that postcode, you are looking at the supermarket covered here even if the result says Swansea rather than Llansamlet.
The Asda store locator is useful for checking the exact branch when local names and official store names do not match perfectly.
How the Overnight Timetable Works
The store’s current normal pattern is:
- Monday: 8am to 10pm
- Tuesday: open 24 hours
- Wednesday: open 24 hours
- Thursday: open 24 hours
- Friday: open 24 hours
- Saturday: midnight to 10pm
- Sunday: 10am to 4pm
It is easier to understand this as a continuous midweek period than as four separate 24-hour days. After Monday closes, the supermarket reopens on Tuesday and then normally stays open until Saturday evening.
When Can You Actually Shop at 2am?
An overnight grocery shop is normally possible during the Tuesday-to-Friday 24-hour trading period. The same is not true on Sunday morning or Monday morning before the store opens.
Saturday also needs care. Although the store is open after midnight because it continues directly from Friday, it closes at 10pm on Saturday and remains closed overnight before Sunday’s 10am reopening.
Drive-Through Collection Is Not a 24-Hour Service
The Swansea Superstore has a drive-through grocery collection point. It is currently listed from 6am to 8pm every day.
This is a much narrower timetable than the supermarket itself during the working week. Being able to enter the grocery store at 3am does not mean a booked grocery order can be collected at 3am.
Use the collection slot shown in your order. The Asda click and collect service depends on available booked times rather than matching every hour that the main shop is trading.
There Is a Café, but No Asda Pharmacy or Opticians
The Llansamlet store currently has an Asda café, while Asda marks its own pharmacy and opticians as unavailable at this branch.
The café normally opens from 8.30am to 5pm Monday to Saturday and from 10am to 4pm on Sunday. It is therefore a daytime service inside a supermarket that can stay open through the night during much of the week.
If you arrive for a late-night grocery shop, do not expect the café or other staffed daytime services to follow the 24-hour supermarket timetable.
Travel Money Ends at 6pm
The travel money bureau is currently listed from 9am to 6pm Monday to Saturday and from 10.30am to 4pm on Sunday.
This creates an especially large gap during the store’s 24-hour weekdays. The supermarket can remain open all night, but currency services are concentrated into normal daytime and early evening hours.
The Petrol Station Is Open 24 Hours Every Day
The petrol filling station has a simpler timetable than the supermarket. Asda currently lists it as open 24 hours on all seven days.
This is useful on Sunday night, when the supermarket itself has already closed at 4pm. Fuel availability and supermarket shopping should therefore be treated as two different questions.
George Collection and Scan & Go
George Click & Collect is normally listed from 8am to 10pm Monday to Saturday and 10am to 4pm on Sunday. Scan & Go handsets currently use the same broad 8am to 10pm Monday-to-Saturday window.
Asda also states that the Scan & Go mobile app can be used separately from the handset timetable where supported. This is another example of an individual service not simply copying the store’s headline hours.
Sunday Breaks the Overnight Pattern
The supermarket normally opens from 10am to 4pm on Sunday. That six-hour day is a sharp contrast with the continuous midweek timetable.
If you are accustomed to shopping overnight during the week, remember that the supermarket is closed through Saturday night into Sunday and again after 4pm on Sunday.
Quieter Hour at ASDA Swansea
Asda currently provides a quieter hour from 2pm to 3pm Monday to Thursday. The store remains open while Asda reduces background noise, including switching off Asda Radio and limiting tannoy announcements to emergencies.
The quieter hour is therefore part of the normal shopping day rather than a separate opening period.
A 24-Hour Store Still Needs a Bank Holiday Check
Continuous trading can be interrupted by bank holidays and major seasonal dates. This makes checking dated holiday information particularly important if you plan to arrive in the early hours.
Do not assume that an ordinary Tuesday or Friday overnight schedule will automatically continue unchanged through Easter, Christmas, New Year or another public holiday.
