ASDA Hale Barns is no longer open. The supermarket at The Square on Hale Road closed on Friday 31 July 2026 and is being converted into a Waitrose supermarket. It therefore no longer has current ASDA opening times.
The former ASDA address was The Square, Hale Road, Hale Barns, Altrincham, WA15 8ST. Waitrose has announced that it plans to reopen the site as a new supermarket in autumn 2026 after a full refit.
The Key Information: ASDA Hale Barns Closed on 31 July 2026
Anyone searching for ASDA Hale Barns opening times should now treat older store-hour listings as historical information.
The ASDA supermarket stopped trading at the end of July 2026. The building is no longer operating as an ASDA branch while work takes place for its replacement by Waitrose.
This also explains why the Hale Barns branch may no longer appear in ASDA’s current store-locator results even though older directories and local pages still show its former hours.
What Were the Former ASDA Hale Barns Hours?
Before the branch closed, its normal supermarket timetable was:
- Monday: 7am to 10pm
- Tuesday: 7am to 10pm
- Wednesday: 7am to 10pm
- Thursday: 7am to 10pm
- Friday: 7am to 10pm
- Saturday: 7am to 10pm
- Sunday: 10am to 4pm
These times are useful only as historical context. They should not be used to plan a current visit because ASDA no longer trades from the Hale Barns site.
What Is Replacing ASDA Hale Barns?
Waitrose is taking over the supermarket unit at The Square.
The site is undergoing a full refit before reopening as a full-line Waitrose supermarket. The new store has been announced for autumn 2026, although shoppers should check Waitrose directly for the confirmed opening date and final opening hours once they are published.
The change means the same supermarket building will have moved through another retailer transition. ASDA originally opened at Hale Barns in May 2024 after taking over the previous Booths supermarket.
Where Can Former Hale Barns ASDA Shoppers Go Now?
ASDA’s nearest larger options include Altrincham and Wythenshawe, although the most convenient branch will depend on your route.
ASDA Altrincham is at 90 George Richards Way in Broadheath, postcode WA14 5ZR. It is a full Superstore with grocery shopping, opticians, cafe, Drive Thru collection and a petrol filling station.
ASDA Wythenshawe is at 1 Swan Walk in the Civic Centre, postcode M22 5HZ. It follows a different opening timetable from Altrincham.
The ASDA store locator can help identify the most suitable currently operating branch rather than directing you to the closed Hale Barns location.
ASDA Altrincham Is the Main Nearby Full-Size Alternative
ASDA Altrincham currently opens from 6am to midnight Monday through Friday, 6am to 10pm on Saturday, and 11am to 5pm on Sunday.
This gives former Hale Barns shoppers substantially longer weekday supermarket access than the old Hale Barns 7am to 10pm timetable provided.
The Altrincham petrol filling station is currently open 24 hours every day, which also provides a late-night fuel option outside supermarket trading hours.
Altrincham Has Drive Thru Grocery Collection
ASDA Altrincham currently offers Drive Thru grocery collection from 7am to 8pm Monday through Saturday and from 7am to 6pm on Sunday.
For shoppers who previously used Hale Barns mainly for groceries, online ordering may therefore provide another way to use a nearby ASDA without needing to shop around the full store.
The ASDA click and collect information explains the wider collection process.
Altrincham Also Has Opticians and a Cafe
ASDA Altrincham currently has an opticians that opens from 9am Monday through Saturday, with Tuesday and Thursday staying open later than the other days. Sunday optical hours are 11am to 5pm.
The Altrincham cafe currently opens from 8.30am to 5pm Monday through Saturday and from 11am to 4pm on Sunday.
ASDA currently lists its own pharmacy as unavailable at Altrincham, so customers needing pharmacy services should not assume the nearby replacement branch provides one.
Do Not Rely on Old Hale Barns Listings
Older search results and business directories may continue to display the former 7am to 10pm Monday to Saturday timetable for ASDA Hale Barns.
Those hours were valid while the branch was trading, but they became obsolete when ASDA closed the store on 31 July 2026.
For current shopping, use an operating ASDA branch. For the supermarket at The Square itself, wait for the confirmed opening information from Waitrose.
