Supermarket giant Asda has announced plans to buy the UK stores of Danish discount retailer Netto for £778m.
Asda said that, pending approval from the Office of Fair Trading, it hoped to finalise the deal later in the summer.
Netto has 193 stores in the UK which will continue to trade under the Netto name for the time being but will come under the Asda brand by mid-2011.
Asda plans to integrate the stores into its new supermarkets division for shops smaller than 25,000 square feet.
Netto, currently owned by Dansk Supermarked, has operated in the UK since 1990.

Asda are to change the name of their bird food in an attempt to stop customers laughing at their "fat balls".
The rolls of fat and seeds, which cost £1.38, are put out in gardens during the winter months to encourage wild birds to feed in the cold. Sian Horner, a spokeswoman for Asda, said the supermarket was considering either covering the packaging or changing the name of the product to stop the laughter.
This is not the first time Asda have been caught out for the humorous names of their products- Cock Soup, a Jamaican delicacy, had to be confined tothe top shelf because customers had complained that it was rude.

Supermarket chain Asda today launches an Asian clothing range, thought to be the first collection of its kind available on the High Street.
The clothes, part of the George at Asda line, are a response to demand from the supermarkets' ethnic customers for affordable authentic clothing.
The 13-piece collection includes sequinned embellished salwar kameez (traditional suits), khurtas (tunics), dapata (scarves) and churidar (slim leg trousers).

Asda collaborated with a team in India to design the clothes and is made with authentic Indian material.
The store received input from a panel of customers and says the styles are suitable for all cultures, not just Asian customers, but is expecting to see a high demand before the Eid Islamic holiday on September 20.
Prices start from £7, with a complete suit for £26. Fiona Lambert, brand director at George, said: 'We are extremely proud to be launching the UK's first mainstream range of traditional Asian clothing.

Asda are raising awareness of the landfill problem in Britain with a computer game called "Landfill Bill".
When you finish playing the game a calculator works out how much rubbish has gone into landfill in the UK during the time you were playing. Quite frightening results.
About the game.
Recycle Michael has gone on holiday and Landfill Bill has been given the task of cleaning up. He must throw the recycle-able items in to the correct bins before the land gets covered in rubbish. The longer you play the quicker the items will come. The more items you put in the bin without dropping, the higher your multiplier will be, and the quicker your score will go up. Keep an eye out for the swinging bins and the rubber ducks for extra points!
A fun game that teaches a great lesson.Asda are raising awareness of the landfill problem in Britain with a computer game... more

An anti-poverty charity, War on Want, has uncovered that UK highstreet fashion chain Primark are paying its workers in Bangladesh as little as 7p an hour and is ignoring the 70% inflationary rise in basic living costs in the region over the last two years.
While the workers are now estimated as needing the equivalent of £44.82 a month to feed their families and pay for clean water, shelter, clothes, education, health care and transport, the charity says that the average Primark worker earned just £19.16 a month. Other chains accused of similar abuses include the clothing lines for Asda and Tesco.
War on Want is currently campaigning for the UK government to enforce regulations on minimum wages that must be paid by these companies, and for them to take account of infaltion.An anti-poverty charity, War on Want, has uncovered that UK highstreet fashion chain... more

"When retail tycoon George Davies launched his eponymous clothing line at Asda in 1990, supermarket chic was an alien concept. But where tossing a pair of jeans into our trolleys along with the washing powder was once a novelty, it has now become the norm.
In 2002, Tesco added fashion to its aisles, and Sainsbury’s followed in 2004. Today, 62 per cent of consumers regularly buy clothing at their supermarket and – thanks, perhaps, to the credit crunch – the figure is rising. Indeed, supermarkets have tightened their grip on the country’s £177 billion non-food market, of which they now enjoy an 11 per cent share.
But has supermarket fashion slipped from cheap chic to just cheap? Have the garments become too fast and forward (ie, hitched to what’s happening on the catwalk) to have any real, lasting value?
Fiona Lambert, brand director for George at Asda, certainly believes so. She cites these as some of the reasons she left Next 18 months ago to return to the label she helped Davies launch 18 years ago, when he left Next (which he also founded).
Even though Asda is the UK’s second-largest clothing retailer by volume – it has 349 stores, with more regular customers (15 million a week) than Gap, H&M and Bhs – Lambert was convinced that there was something missing. She felt that since the American chain Wal-Mart bought Asda in 1999, there had been too much emphasis on the “stack them high, sell them cheap” formula. "
