ASDA Thurmaston on Barkby Thorpe Lane, Leicester LE4 8GN currently opens from 8am to 10pm on Monday, 6am to midnight Tuesday to Friday, 6am to 10pm on Saturday, and 10am to 4pm on Sunday.
Those are the supermarket hours, but they are only one of several timetables operating at the Thurmaston site. The petrol filling station is open 24 hours, grocery collection has its own daily window, and the pharmacy and travel money bureau both open for fewer hours than the store itself.

There Are Several Different Clocks at the Thurmaston Site
A useful way to understand ASDA Thurmaston is not to think of the whole site as having one set of opening times. The supermarket, petrol station, pharmacy, travel money bureau, grocery collection point and George collection service each answer a different customer need.
This is particularly relevant early in the morning and later in the evening. The supermarket might be open while a staffed service is closed, or fuel may remain available when the supermarket itself is shut.
Petrol Is Available 24 Hours
The petrol filling station at ASDA Thurmaston is currently listed as open 24 hours every day of the week.
That does not make the Barkby Thorpe Lane supermarket a 24-hour store. For example, the supermarket currently closes at 10pm on Saturday and 4pm on Sunday, while the petrol station continues to operate.
This difference explains why an “ASDA Thurmaston open now” result can be misleading if it does not say whether it refers to the superstore or the petrol facility.
Grocery Collection Runs on a Narrower Schedule
Thurmaston currently has a drive-through grocery collection service. Asda lists it from 7am to 8pm Monday to Saturday and from 7am to 6pm on Sunday.
This creates some interesting differences from the main store. On Monday, the collection point can currently begin operating before the supermarket opens at 8am. From Tuesday to Friday, however, collection finishes at 8pm while the supermarket remains open until midnight.
If you already have a grocery order, the booked slot is therefore more important than the supermarket timetable.
The Pharmacy Starts at 9am
The Asda Pharmacy at Thurmaston currently opens from 9am to 9pm Monday to Saturday and from 10am to 4pm on Sunday.
This means an early 6am supermarket visit from Tuesday to Saturday is well before the pharmacy opens. Likewise, the supermarket can remain open for several hours after the pharmacy closes during the extended weekday trading period.
If the pharmacy is the purpose of your trip, its own opening hours should be checked rather than using the grocery store schedule.
Travel Money Has Another Timetable
ASDA Thurmaston currently has a travel money bureau open from 9am to 6pm Monday to Saturday and from 10am to 4pm on Sunday.
The bureau therefore has a substantially shorter working day than the supermarket. A late evening trip may be suitable for groceries but too late for buying or collecting currency.
No Cafe or Asda Opticians at This Branch
Asda currently marks a cafe and Asda Opticians as unavailable at the Thurmaston store. This is useful to know before travelling because large Asda superstores do not all have the same mix of services.
The Asda store locator can help if you need to compare Thurmaston with another Leicester-area branch offering a particular service.
George Collection and Scan and Go
George Click and Collect is currently listed from 8am to 10pm Monday to Saturday and from 10am to 4pm on Sunday.
Physical Scan and Go handsets are also listed over a similar daytime and evening period rather than throughout the supermarket’s complete 6am to midnight opening. Asda separately identifies the mobile Scan and Go app from the handset timetable.
The 2pm to 3pm Quieter Hour
ASDA Thurmaston currently offers a quieter hour from 2pm to 3pm Monday to Thursday. Asda says it reduces store noise during this period by switching off Asda Radio and limiting tannoy announcements to emergencies.
The supermarket remains open normally throughout the quieter hour.
Sunday Compresses the Supermarket Day
Sunday supermarket trading is currently 10am to 4pm. That contrasts sharply with the 6am to midnight period used from Tuesday to Friday.
Some site services follow different Sunday schedules, while petrol remains available around the clock. It is therefore better to ask which part of ASDA Thurmaston you need rather than treating the entire location as having one Sunday timetable.
Bank holidays and major seasonal dates can also have special hours. The broader Asda opening hours information covers these exceptions, but Barkby Thorpe Lane’s current listing should be checked for a specific visit.
