There are ASDA stores called Gillingham in two different parts of England, so location is essential when checking opening times. The branch officially named simply ASDA Gillingham is on Station Road in Gillingham, Dorset, postcode SP8 4QA. It currently opens from 7am to 11pm Monday through Saturday and from 10am to 4pm on Sunday.
Gillingham in Kent has a different ASDA Superstore called ASDA Gillingham Pier on Pier Road, ME7 1RZ. Its normal timetable is different. This page primarily covers the Station Road store in Dorset because ASDA officially names that branch ASDA Gillingham.
Which Gillingham Are You Looking For?
Gillingham, Dorset
The Station Road supermarket is at Gillingham SP8 4QA. ASDA calls this branch ASDA Gillingham.
Gillingham, Kent
The larger Pier Road branch is officially ASDA Gillingham Pier. It is in Gillingham, Kent, postcode ME7 1RZ.
The two towns are far apart and their stores have different opening times, so postcode and street name are more useful than the word Gillingham alone.
Station Road ASDA Gillingham Opening Hours
- Monday: 7am to 11pm
- Tuesday: 7am to 11pm
- Wednesday: 7am to 11pm
- Thursday: 7am to 11pm
- Friday: 7am to 11pm
- Saturday: 7am to 11pm
- Sunday: 10am to 4pm
The Dorset store therefore has one consistent Monday to Saturday timetable. There is no Monday late start, no Saturday early closing and no separate midweek midnight pattern to remember.
Why the 11pm Closing Time Makes Gillingham Unusual
Many ASDA stores that close at 11pm during the working week move to a 10pm closing time on Saturday. The Station Road supermarket currently does not.
Its normal 7am to 11pm timetable continues through Saturday. This gives shoppers the same 16-hour shopping window on all six Monday to Saturday days.
Sunday is the only major weekly change, dropping to 10am to 4pm.
A Smaller Supermarket Means a Different Service Mix
ASDA classifies the Station Road branch as a Supermarket rather than one of its large Superstores or Supercentres.
This matters because specialist services available at larger ASDA locations should not automatically be expected at Gillingham.
The branch does offer George and George Click & Collect, but shoppers should check individual service availability rather than assuming facilities such as pharmacy, opticians, cafe or petrol are part of the store simply because another ASDA has them.
George Collection Starts at 8am
George Click & Collect currently operates from 8am to 10pm Monday through Saturday and from 10am to 4pm on Sunday.
That means the supermarket is already open for an hour before George collection begins on each Monday to Saturday shopping day.
The store also remains open for an hour after George collection finishes at 10pm.
How the Kent Gillingham Store Differs
If you meant ASDA Gillingham Pier in Kent, do not use the Station Road timetable above.
The Pier Road Superstore currently opens at 8am on Monday, 7am from Tuesday through Saturday, and 10am on Sunday. It closes at 10pm Monday through Saturday and at 4pm on Sunday.
That means both stores share a 10am to 4pm Sunday timetable, but the Monday to Saturday hours differ. Dorset Gillingham remains open until 11pm, while Gillingham Pier closes at 10pm.
There Is Also a 24-Hour ASDA in Gillingham, Kent
ASDA lists Gillingham Express Petrol at Cornwallis Roundabout on Beechings Way as open 24 hours every day.
This is a third possible result for someone searching ASDA Gillingham opening times. It is an Express Petrol store rather than either of the supermarkets discussed above.
The ASDA store locator is especially useful for this name because it prevents a valid opening time from being applied to the wrong Gillingham or the wrong store format.
Sunday Is Simpler Than the Place Name
The Station Road supermarket in Dorset currently opens from 10am to 4pm on Sunday.
Interestingly, the Gillingham Pier supermarket in Kent currently uses the same six-hour Sunday supermarket period. The difficulty lies mainly in the Monday to Saturday timetable rather than Sunday.
Quieter Hour at the Dorset Store
ASDA currently offers quieter hour at the Station Road Gillingham store from 2pm to 3pm every Monday to Thursday.
The supermarket stays open while ASDA reduces noise by switching off its radio and limiting tannoy announcements to emergencies.
Holiday Hours Need Both a Date and a Location
Bank holidays can alter normal opening hours, but with Gillingham there is an additional risk of checking the wrong town.
The broader ASDA opening hours information can help with special-date context, but make sure the final store listing shows Station Road SP8 4QA if you mean Gillingham in Dorset.
