ASDA Group Limited
 PROFILE
ASDA Group offers consumers everything from frankfurters to Frank Sinatra. Owned by Wal-Mart Stores, ASDA is the UK's third-largest food retailer (behind Tesco and Sainsbury). It operates about 240 large stores (averaging more than 55,000 sq. ft.) that primarily sell groceries and apparel (including its George brand). The stores also sell CDs, books, videos, and items for the home. It offers American, Chinese and Mexican take-out meals. Since being bought by Wal-Mart, ASDA has set off a price war in the UK by initiating Wal-Mart's aggressive "price-rollback" program and is converting some stores to Wal-Mart's supercenter format under the ASDA-Wal-Mart banner. ASDA's Gazeley unit develops property.
