ASDA Aintree has one of the more unusual weekly opening patterns in the Liverpool area. It normally opens from 8am to 10pm on Monday, 6am to 10pm on Tuesday and Wednesday, 6am Thursday and then continues through a 24-hour Friday before finally closing at 10pm on Saturday. Sunday hours are 10.30am to 4.30pm.
The most useful way to understand the timetable is as a continuous late-week trading block rather than seven unrelated opening times.
How the Thursday-to-Saturday Opening Block Works
Thursday begins at 6am and is listed until midnight. Friday is listed as open 24 hours, while Saturday begins at midnight and continues until 10pm.
In practical terms, that means the store normally stays continuously open from 6am Thursday through to 10pm Saturday.
Someone shopping at 2am on Friday is therefore within the normal timetable. Someone trying the same thing early on Tuesday would not be, because Tuesday’s listed trading period starts at 6am.

Is ASDA Aintree a 24-Hour Store?
It is more accurate to say that Aintree has 24-hour trading during part of the week rather than calling it a seven-day 24-hour supermarket.
Friday itself is listed as open 24 hours, and the surrounding Thursday and Saturday entries create continuous opening from Thursday morning until Saturday night.
The store then closes overnight before its Sunday trading window and again after Sunday afternoon before reopening Monday morning.
Sunday Starts at 10.30am, Not 10am
Aintree’s normal Sunday hours are 10.30am to 4.30pm.
This is worth noting because several nearby ASDA stores use a 10am to 4pm Sunday pattern instead. Both are six-hour windows, but the half-hour shift matters if you are planning an early Sunday visit.
Aintree Has Several In-Store Services
The branch has a broader service mix than some smaller supermarkets, including ASDA Opticians, pharmacy, cafe and travel money.
None of these should be assumed to follow the supermarket’s overnight schedule. The fact that groceries can be bought during a 24-hour period does not mean an optician, pharmacist or cafe is staffed through the night.
ASDA Opticians Hours at Aintree
The opticians is currently listed from 9am to 6.30pm on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, 9am to 7.30pm on Tuesday and Thursday, and 10.30am to 4.30pm on Sunday.
ASDA also notes that clinic appointment availability can differ from the general optical opening hours. If you need an eye test, the appointment timetable is therefore more relevant than the store’s headline opening time.
The Cafe Closes Long Before the Store
ASDA Aintree cafe currently opens from 8.30am to 5pm Monday through Saturday and from 10.30am to 4pm on Sunday.
On Friday, this means the supermarket can remain open for many hours after the cafe has finished serving.
Travel Money Has a Different Weekend Schedule
The Aintree travel money bureau is currently listed from 9am to 8pm Monday through Friday, 9am to 6pm Saturday and 10.30am to 4pm Sunday.
A late-night supermarket visit is therefore not suitable if travel money is the actual reason for going to Aintree.
Where Is ASDA Aintree?
The Superstore is on Ormskirk Road, Liverpool L10 3LN.
There are several ASDA branches across Liverpool and nearby Sefton, including supermarkets and Express petrol locations. Some nearby Express petrol stores operate 24 hours every day, so make sure you have selected Aintree rather than another location when comparing overnight opening.
The ASDA store locator is useful for confirming the branch address and current timetable.
Quieter Hour During the Week
Aintree currently lists a Quieter Hour between 2pm and 3pm Monday through Thursday.
The supermarket stays open normally while ASDA reduces in-store noise. This is separate from the branch’s long overnight trading period.
Festive Hours Can Break the Continuous Opening Pattern
Do not assume the Thursday-to-Saturday continuous schedule remains unchanged on a bank holiday or during Christmas week.
Holiday Hours can override normal 24-hour trading. This is particularly important if you intend to shop in the early hours when a temporary closure would be easy to miss.
