ASDA Stockton Refresh

Transforming ASDA Stockton: CBES Delivers a Flagship Refit

CBES recently completed a major transformation at ASDA Stockton, one of the most ambitious refits undertaken within the ASDA estate in 2025. Over a 12‑week programme, the store was reshaped into a modern, energy‑efficient, customer‑focused environment.

A Store Reimagined

The project introduced new refrigeration cases across chilled, produce, and frozen departments, all repositioned to support a refreshed customer journey. Neon signage and updated décor brought a contemporary feel to the store.

Food‑to‑go was reinvented with a new pizza counter, hot food area, and a fully refurbished bakery. Additional upgrades across George, Opticians, BWS, and Health & Beauty ensured consistency with ASDA’s latest brand and operational standards.

Collaboration at Scale

The project required close coordination between CBES divisions and specialist partners. Electrical, flooring, cleaning, racking, fixtures, and fire & security teams worked in parallel, supported by a carefully phased programme designed to minimise disruption in a live trading environment.

A Smooth Handover

The refresh project was on a tight timetable and needed to be completed prior to the the peak Christmas trading period, the store was formally handed over on 21 November, with practical completion achieved on 3 December well in advance of the rush period. Customers now enjoy a brighter, easier‑to‑navigate store, while colleagues benefit from improved workflow and upgraded infrastructure.
