ASDA closing times on Thursday range from conventional late-evening closing to full overnight trading. Depending on the store, Thursday may end at 10pm, 11pm or midnight, while some larger branches remain open throughout the night into Friday.
Thursday is also a day when some in-store services stay open later than they do on other weekdays, particularly opticians at certain branches. That makes it useful to separate the supermarket timetable from the service timetable.
If You Are Shopping Before Dinner
For ordinary daytime and early-evening grocery shopping, most ASDA branches are comfortably within their normal Thursday trading period.
The meaningful closing-time differences emerge later in the evening, when one branch may finish at 10pm while another remains open for several more hours or through the night.
If You Are Shopping Around 9pm
Many branches are still open at 9pm on Thursday, but a few stores with comparatively short schedules can be approaching closing time.
If you need a full weekly shop rather than a quick purchase, allow enough time before the published closing time rather than planning to arrive at the last minute.
If You Are Shopping Around 10.30pm
This is where branch choice becomes much more important.
A 10pm-closing supermarket is already closed. An 11pm or midnight branch may still be trading, and a partly 24-hour Superstore can remain open without a Thursday-night closure at all.
If You Are Shopping After Midnight
You need a branch whose Thursday schedule continues overnight into Friday.
A store that merely closes at midnight is not the same as a store listed as open 24 hours. Once a midnight-closing branch reaches the end of Thursday, it closes until its next opening time.
Thursday Is Often Part of the Midweek 24-Hour Block
At ASDA branches with partial 24-hour trading, Thursday commonly sits inside the longest continuous part of the week.
The store may already have been open throughout Wednesday night and continue through Thursday night into Friday.
The continuous sequence usually ends later, often on Saturday evening, rather than at the end of Thursday.
Thursday Can Be a Later Opticians Day
Some ASDA Opticians departments use later closing hours on Tuesday and Thursday than on other weekdays.
Even then, the optical department normally closes well before a late-night or 24-hour supermarket.
If an eye appointment is the reason for your visit, use the appointment details and opticians timetable rather than the main store closing time.
Collection Usually Ends Before Late Thursday Shopping
Online grocery collection points often stop operating earlier in the evening than the supermarket.
A branch may remain open until midnight or through the night while its drive-through or internal collection point finishes around the evening period.
Your booked slot is the relevant time. The ASDA Click and Collect guide explains the difference between supermarket access and order collection.
Rapid Delivery Can Finish Even Earlier
Third-party rapid grocery services such as Deliveroo, Just Eat or Uber Eats can have their own ordering windows.
An ASDA branch being open at 10pm does not prove that a delivery order can still be placed from that location.
Thursday Before a Holiday Weekend
A normal Thursday is usually governed by the branch’s standard weekly timetable, but Easter, Christmas and New Year periods can introduce dated exceptions.
Maundy Thursday itself can still use normal hours at many branches, but the surrounding Good Friday and Easter weekend should be checked separately because trading can change substantially.
Check Thursday in the Correct Order
- Confirm the exact branch and postcode.
- Look specifically at Thursday rather than assuming Friday hours.
- Determine whether the listing gives a closing time or says open 24 hours.
- Check individual service hours if your trip is not simply for groceries.
- Check dated Holiday Hours when the week contains a special trading date.
The ASDA store locator guide can help distinguish branches when several ASDA locations appear in the same area.
ASDA Thursday Closing Time FAQs
Does ASDA close at 10pm on Thursday?
Some stores do. Others close at 11pm or midnight, and some larger branches remain open overnight.
Are any ASDA stores open all night Thursday?
Yes. Some branches include Thursday in a continuous midweek 24-hour trading period.
Does ASDA Click and Collect stay open as late as the store on Thursday?
Often it does not. Collection points commonly have shorter operating hours than the supermarket and require a booked slot.
Could Thursday hours change before Easter or Christmas?
Yes. Special seasonal trading periods can introduce branch-specific Holiday Hours, so dated information should be checked when available.
