THE RE-OPENING of a Hereford petrol station has been delayed.
The forecourt in Holmer Road, which was previously run by the Co-op, closed on November 8 so that Asda could rebrand the premises.
The refurbed establishment was set to reopen at 10am today (November 10) but has failed to open on time, with it being reported that they are now trying to open by 12pm at the latest.

The rebrand is part of Asda’s acquisition of 129 of Co-op's petrol stations, as well as three development sites. The £600 million deal was aimed at helping the Co-op's finances.
The garage was previously owned by Texaco, with Co-op running the shop.
However, a £1.7 million refurbishment in 2020 saw the shop become bigger and the Co-op replacing the Texaco branding in the forecourt.
The latest change will mean that there will be two Asda petrol stations in Hereford, with the other in Belmont Road.
