The Asda store commonly searched for as ASDA Walsgrave is officially listed by Asda as ASDA Coventry on Brade Drive, Coventry CV2 2PN. It currently opens from 8am to 10pm on Monday, 5am to midnight Tuesday to Friday, 5am to 10pm on Saturday, and 10am to 4pm on Sunday.
The key local issue is naming. Shoppers may use “Walsgrave Asda” because of the part of Coventry they associate with the store, while Asda’s own branch listing uses ASDA Coventry. The Brade Drive address and CV2 2PN postcode are the safest identifiers.
Why “ASDA Walsgrave” and “ASDA Coventry” Can Mean the Same Branch
Asda’s official store directory names the Brade Drive supercentre ASDA Coventry. Local searches can still use Walsgrave because the store serves the eastern Coventry area around Walsgrave and nearby neighbourhoods.
For opening-time purposes, the important identifiers are Brade Drive and CV2 2PN. Those make sure you do not confuse this store with ASDA Abbey Park, ASDA Coventry Daventry Road or ASDA Living Coventry.
The 5am Opening Is the Standout Feature
ASDA Coventry on Brade Drive currently opens at 5am from Tuesday through Saturday. That is earlier than many large Asda supermarkets.
Monday is very different, with an 8am opening. Sunday starts later again at 10am.
ASDA Walsgrave Weekly Opening Times
- Monday: 8am to 10pm
- Tuesday: 5am to midnight
- Wednesday: 5am to midnight
- Thursday: 5am to midnight
- Friday: 5am to midnight
- Saturday: 5am to 10pm
- Sunday: 10am to 4pm
Tuesday to Friday currently give shoppers a 19-hour supermarket day. Saturday still begins at 5am but closes at 10pm rather than midnight.
A 5am Store Opening Does Not Mean Services Open at 5am
The contrast between supermarket access and staffed services is especially large at this branch. The store can be open for several hours before the pharmacy, opticians, cafe and travel money bureau begin operating.
This makes Walsgrave a good example of why a very early supermarket opening should not be treated as a universal opening time for everything inside the building.
Drive-Through Grocery Collection Starts at 7am
The Brade Drive store currently has a drive-through grocery collection point open from 7am to 8pm Monday to Saturday and from 7am to 6pm on Sunday.
From Tuesday to Saturday, the supermarket has already been open for two hours before grocery collection begins.
Sunday works in the opposite direction because collection can begin before the supermarket’s 10am opening. Use the booked slot for an existing grocery order.
Pharmacy Hours Are 9am to 8pm Monday to Saturday
The Asda Pharmacy at Brade Drive currently opens from 9am to 8pm Monday to Saturday and from 10am to 4pm on Sunday.
On Tuesday to Friday, this leaves four hours of supermarket trading before the pharmacy opens and another four hours after it closes.
Cafe Hours Are Much Shorter Than the Store Day
The ASDA Coventry cafe currently opens from 8.30am to 5pm Monday to Saturday and from 10am to 4pm on Sunday.
A 6am or 7am grocery trip is therefore too early for the cafe even though the supermarket has already been open for some time.
Opticians and Travel Money Each Have Their Own Clock
Asda Opticians currently open at 9am Monday to Saturday and 10am on Sunday, with closing times varying by day. The travel money bureau currently operates from 9am to 6pm Monday to Saturday and from 10.30am to 4pm on Sunday.
These services therefore occupy a relatively small part of the supermarket’s full 5am to midnight weekday opening.
Do Not Confuse Walsgrave With ASDA Living Coventry
ASDA Living Coventry is a separate store at Warwickshire Shopping Park in Binley. It focuses on George clothing, home and general merchandise and uses substantially shorter opening hours.
The Asda store locator can help distinguish Brade Drive from Asda Living and Coventry’s other supermarkets.
Quieter Hour and Sunday Trading
The quieter hour at Brade Drive currently runs from 2pm to 3pm Monday to Thursday. Asda says it reduces noise during this period by switching off Asda Radio and limiting tannoy announcements to emergencies.
Sunday supermarket trading is currently 10am to 4pm, sharply shorter than the 5am starts used during most of the week.
Bank holiday times can differ from the normal pattern. The wider Asda opening hours information provides context, but use the Brade Drive listing for a specific visit.
