The first Supercentre with a sales area of {{convert|93000|sqft|m2|abbr=on|order=flip}} opened in Patchway, Bristol in the summer of 2000. The first Scottish Supercentre opened in [[Livingston, West Lothian|Livingston]], in 2001.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.just-food.com/news/scotlands-first-asda-wal-mart-supercentre_id87409.aspx|title=UK: Scotland's first ASDA Wal-Mart supercentre|access-date=25 July 2015|archive-date=25 July 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150725185320/http://www.just-food.com/news/scotlands-first-asda-wal-mart-supercentre_id87409.aspx|url-status=live}}</ref> The [[Bletchley]], [[Milton Keynes]] Supercentre which opened in November 2005 is currently the largest Asda Supercentre with a net sales floor of over {{convert|120000|sqft|m2|abbr=on|order=flip}}.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.rpsl.com/news.php?id=89 |title=Rose :: Latest News |publisher=Rpsl.com |access-date=3 September 2013 |archive-date=4 October 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131004231846/http://www.rpsl.com/news.php?id=89 |url-status=dead }}</ref> This was preceded in June 2002 by the Eastlands, Manchester store which was the largest store at the time with a sales area of {{convert|110000|sqft|m2|abbr=on|order=flip}} but is currently the second largest Asda Supercentre, and the third largest is located in [[Minworth]], West Midlands, followed by Patchway.
