Despite being one of the UK's largest and most well-known grocery chains, Asda have had very little experience at service areas on major roads. This is rapidly changing, with Asda taking over the vast majority of [[EG Group]]'s facilities in November 2023, including their forecourts, the entire [[Leon]] brand, and many food courts.

The newly-acquired sites are branded '''Asda Express''', a name that is also applied to service areas taken over from [[Co-op]]. Asda often owns the entire service area complex that the Asda Express store is tied to, turning them into one of the UK's biggest A-road service area operators. They even own old EG Group food courts where, as there is no shop, the Asda name isn't displayed prominently at all. The actual make-up of each site can be quite complicated.

===Roadside History===
[[File:Asda Ashby de la Zouch 2023.jpg|250px|thumb|right|alt=Cars parked in front of a forecourt sales shop, with a drive thru lane on the left.|The former 'Asda On the Move' branded store at Ashby de la Zouch.]]
Ahead of EG Group's initial purchase of Asda, they announced plans to open '''Asda On the Move''' mini-markets in their forecourts and service areas in 2020. This started with a trial in the forecourt shop at [[Ashby de la Zouch]] in October.

After the takeover, EG Group's 'Asda On the Move' name became their main shopping brand, replacing [[SPAR]] and [[Sainsbury's|Sainsbury's On the Go]]. Initially, some stores opened under an 'Extra Special' format with an extended premium product range. Some stores included new Leon Coffee machines, as well as EG Group's usual foodservice partners, including [[Subway]] and [[Greggs]].

The two companies' relationship changed direction in 2023, with Asda taking over EG Group's forecourts and using the 'Asda Express' name. A few sites were retained by EG Group and sold to create the similarly-named [[EG On the Move]].
