ASDA Merthyr Tydfil has one of the easier weekly timetables to remember. After an 8am Monday opening, the Dowlais Top Superstore opens at 7am from Tuesday to Saturday, while the supermarket closes at 10pm on all six of those days.
Sunday changes to 10am to 4pm. Unlike areas with several similarly named Asda branches, Asda currently lists a single store for Merthyr Tydfil, which reduces the risk of checking the timetable for the wrong local supermarket.
A Simple Rule for Monday to Saturday
The supermarket normally closes at 10pm every day from Monday through Saturday. If you mainly shop in the evening, that is the easiest part of the schedule to remember.
The morning is slightly different. Monday starts at 8am, while Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday begin at 7am.

Where Is the Merthyr Asda?
The Superstore is at Dowlais Top, Merthyr Tydfil CF48 2YF.
Asda currently lists one store within Merthyr Tydfil itself. If you encounter another timetable in a search result, it may belong to a branch in a neighbouring town rather than Dowlais Top.
The Asda store locator can help verify the CF48 2YF branch before a journey.
Click and Collect Uses Lockers Here
Merthyr Tydfil currently uses Click and Collect lockers rather than a drive-through collection point. Asda lists the lockers from 7am to 8pm Monday to Saturday and from 7am to 6pm on Sunday.
This makes the Sunday collection window particularly different from the supermarket. The lockers have a broader listed operating period than the store’s 10am to 4pm Sunday trading.
Your actual collection still depends on a booked slot. The Asda click and collect service should be used according to the time confirmed with the order.
Merthyr Has Opticians but No Asda Pharmacy
Asda currently marks its own pharmacy as unavailable at Merthyr Tydfil. The branch does, however, have Asda Opticians.
This is a useful distinction because shoppers sometimes assume that a Superstore with opticians will also contain an Asda pharmacy. At Dowlais Top, the current service listing does not support that assumption.
Opticians Hours Change on Tuesday and Thursday
The opticians normally opens from 9am to 6.30pm on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. Tuesday and Thursday extend to 7.30pm, while Sunday runs from 10am to 4pm.
The eye-care timetable is therefore much shorter than the supermarket’s 10pm closing time. Appointment availability can also differ from general optical opening hours.
The Café Uses the Same Hours Seven Days a Week
The Merthyr Tydfil café currently has an unusually simple schedule: 10am to 4pm every day of the week.
That means the café starts three hours after the supermarket on a normal Tuesday and closes six hours before the grocery store.
On Sunday, however, the café and supermarket currently line up exactly, both operating from 10am to 4pm.
No Travel Money Bureau at Dowlais Top
Asda currently marks its travel money bureau as unavailable at this store. If currency services are the purpose of your journey, another branch or provider will be needed.
This is another reason to check the individual service list rather than assuming every large Asda contains the same facilities.
Scan & Go Starts at 8am
Scan & Go handsets are currently listed from 8am to 10pm Monday to Saturday and from 10am to 4pm on Sunday.
Tuesday to Saturday therefore have a one-hour gap between the supermarket opening at 7am and the listed handset start at 8am. Asda separately notes that its mobile Scan & Go app can be used beyond the handset timetable where supported.
Sunday Brings the Main In-Store Services Together
Sunday is normally 10am to 4pm for the supermarket, opticians and café. This makes the Sunday timetable more aligned than the weekday service pattern.
The collection lockers remain the main exception because their listed Sunday availability extends beyond the supermarket’s six-hour trading window.
The 2pm Quieter Hour
ASDA Merthyr Tydfil currently offers a quieter hour from 2pm to 3pm Monday to Thursday. The store remains fully open while background noise is reduced.
Asda switches off its in-store radio and limits tannoy announcements to emergencies during this period.
When the Regular 10pm Closing May Not Apply
The normal timetable is useful for an ordinary week, but dated holiday opening times take priority when Asda publishes them.
Bank holidays, Easter and the Christmas and New Year period should therefore be checked separately, especially if you plan to arrive at the start or end of the trading day.
