ASDA Rochdale on Dane Street is the branch to choose when you need a very early start or a late weekday shop. The supermarket normally opens at 6am and stays open until midnight every Monday to Friday.
The store is at The Old Cricket Ground, Dane Street, Rochdale OL12 6XT. It should not be confused with ASDA Rochdale Kingsway, which is a separate supermarket at Kingsway Retail Park with shorter daily hours.
Dane Street and Kingsway Answer Different Opening-Time Questions
Rochdale currently has two full Asda supermarkets as well as a 24-hour Express petrol location in Milnrow.
The Dane Street store covered here normally runs from 6am to midnight Monday to Friday. Rochdale Kingsway normally follows a 7am to 10pm pattern from Monday to Saturday.
If you are planning a shop after 10pm, checking the exact branch is therefore essential. The Asda store locator can help distinguish Dane Street from Kingsway.
The Main Rochdale Supermarket Week
- Monday: 6am to midnight
- Tuesday: 6am to midnight
- Wednesday: 6am to midnight
- Thursday: 6am to midnight
- Friday: 6am to midnight
- Saturday: 6am to 10pm
- Sunday: 10.30am to 4.30pm
Five identical 18-hour weekdays make the core timetable easy to remember. Saturday keeps the early opening but closes two hours sooner.
Why Sunday Starts at 10.30am
ASDA Rochdale uses a 10.30am to 4.30pm Sunday trading period.
This is still a six-hour supermarket day, but it is shifted half an hour later than the 10am to 4pm schedule used by many other Asda stores.
Grocery Collection Finishes Four Hours Before the Store
The drive-through grocery collection point normally operates from 7am to 8pm Monday to Saturday.
On a weekday, the supermarket can therefore remain open for another four hours after collection has finished.
Sunday collection currently follows the supermarket’s 10.30am to 4.30pm period. The Asda click and collect service still depends on your booked collection slot.
The Pharmacy Is One of Rochdale’s Later Staffed Services
The pharmacy normally operates from 9am to 9pm Monday to Saturday and from 10.30am to 4.30pm on Sunday.
That makes it available later than several other staffed departments, but there is still a three-hour gap between pharmacy closing and supermarket closing on weekdays.
Opticians Has Later Tuesdays and Thursdays
The opticians normally opens from 9am to 6.30pm on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.
Tuesday and Thursday extend to 7.30pm, while Sunday is 10.30am to 4.30pm.
Appointment availability can differ from the general opticians timetable, so the booked time remains the most useful detail for an eye-care visit.
There Is No Asda Café at Dane Street
Asda currently marks its café as unavailable at the main Rochdale Superstore.
This is worth knowing because the branch has pharmacy, opticians and travel money, so its absence is not obvious from the store’s size or service mix.
Travel Money Has a Different Weekend Pattern
The travel money bureau normally runs from 9am to 8pm Monday to Friday and from 9am to 6pm on Saturday.
Sunday normally begins at 10.30am and finishes at 4pm, half an hour before the supermarket closes.
Travel Money Click & Collect is also available through the bureau, but currency collection should be planned around the travel money service rather than the supermarket’s midnight closing.
A 6am Opening Makes Rochdale Useful Before Work
Monday through Saturday all normally begin at 6am. This gives shoppers a consistent early-morning grocery window that is broader than at the nearby Kingsway store.
Most specialist services begin later, so the early hours are mainly useful for ordinary supermarket shopping.
Midnight Does Not Mean 24 Hours
Despite staying open until midnight on five days, Dane Street still closes overnight.
Rochdale’s Milnrow Express Petrol is the local Asda location currently listed as open 24 hours every day. That is a separate format from the Dane Street Superstore.
Quieter Hour and Special Opening Dates
The supermarket currently provides a quieter hour from 2pm to 3pm Monday to Thursday while normal shopping continues.
Holiday hours can replace the usual 6am to midnight timetable. Check Dane Street specifically around Easter, Christmas, New Year and bank holidays rather than using the Kingsway or Milnrow schedule.
