ASDA Alsager is a smaller ASDA Supermarket rather than a large Superstore. It normally opens from 8am to 10pm on Monday, 7am to 10pm from Tuesday to Saturday, and 10am to 4pm on Sunday. The store is at 19-21 Lawton Road, Alsager, Stoke-on-Trent ST7 2AA.
Its opening pattern is straightforward, but the service mix is noticeably simpler than at many larger ASDA branches. That distinction is useful if you are deciding whether the store suits a full service-based visit or mainly a grocery shop.
What Kind of ASDA Is Alsager?
ASDA lists Alsager as a Supermarket. That is different from the larger Superstore and Supercentre formats found elsewhere.
The branch still provides normal supermarket shopping and online grocery collection, but ASDA currently marks several larger-store services as unavailable.
Normal Shopping Hours
The weekly timetable has only three patterns:
- Monday: 8am to 10pm
- Tuesday to Saturday: 7am to 10pm
- Sunday: 10am to 4pm
Monday is the only weekday with an 8am start. Every other Monday-to-Saturday day begins at 7am, while the 10pm closing time stays consistent across all six days.
The Most Useful Early-Shopping Days
Tuesday through Saturday offer the earliest opening at 7am.
This can suit customers who want to shop before the centre of Alsager becomes busier. Monday starts an hour later, and Sunday is not suitable for an early shop because the store does not open until 10am.
Grocery Collection Starts Later Than the Store
ASDA Alsager has an in-car grocery collection point.
The collection point is currently listed from 9am to 10pm Monday through Saturday and from 11am to 4pm on Sunday.
That means a shopper can enter the supermarket at 7am on Tuesday, but a grocery collection is not listed to begin until 9am. Sunday collection also begins an hour after the supermarket opens.
Collection requires a booked slot. See the ASDA Click and Collect guide for how the service works.
No Pharmacy, Opticians, Cafe or Travel Money Bureau
The current Alsager listing marks ASDA Pharmacy, ASDA Opticians, the ASDA cafe and the travel money bureau as unavailable.
This is one of the clearest ways in which the smaller Supermarket format differs from a large multifunctional ASDA branch.
If you need a prescription, eye appointment, cafe meal or foreign currency, the supermarket being open does not solve the problem because those services are not currently offered here.
George Collection Is Available
Although the larger service departments are absent, the store does provide George Click & Collect.
Current George collection hours are listed from 8am to 10pm Monday through Saturday and 10am to 4pm Sunday.
That service has its own timetable, which is another example of why the grocery store opening time should not automatically be applied to an order collection.
Scan & Go at Alsager
ASDA currently lists Scan & Go mobile app availability at the store. Its published service hours are 8am to 10pm Monday through Saturday and 10am to 4pm Sunday.
Tuesday-to-Saturday shoppers therefore have an hour at the beginning of the trading day when the supermarket is open from 7am but the listed Scan & Go service period has not yet begun.
Parcel Collection and Returns Add Convenience
The branch also lists services for parcel collection and returns, including Amazon Collection & Returns and toyou.
That can make the smaller store useful for combining a grocery trip with parcel errands even though it lacks the pharmacy, cafe and opticians found at some larger ASDA stores.
Quieter Hour at ASDA Alsager
The store currently offers a Quieter Hour between 2pm and 3pm Monday through Thursday.
ASDA reduces noise during that period by switching off ASDA Radio and restricting tannoy announcements to emergencies. The store remains open to all shoppers.
Nearby Stores Can Have Very Different Hours
The contrast with nearby ASDA locations is significant.
ASDA’s Store Locator currently shows a Sandbach Express Petrol a few miles away with a much earlier 5am opening, while Holditch Express Petrol is listed for 24-hour opening. The larger Tunstall Superstore also has a different late-night timetable.
This means the Alsager timetable should not be treated as a general ASDA schedule for the surrounding Stoke-on-Trent and Cheshire area.
Holiday Hours Can Change the Simple Pattern
Alsager normally has an easy schedule to remember, but bank holidays can introduce exceptions.
Check the branch’s Holiday Hours if your visit falls on a bank holiday Monday, Easter period, Christmas or New Year. The normal 8am Monday opening should not be assumed on every holiday Monday.
The ASDA store locator should be checked close to the date for the latest branch-specific information.
