The company decided to shut its “worst hit” Scottish spots in the wake of the extreme weather caused by Storm Eowyn, which could see winds up to 100mph.
From 9am, shops including Glasgow Fort, Robroyston, Springburn, Maryhill, Govan and more will be closed.
A spokesperson for the firm said: “Due to the Met Office warning of extreme weather today, and the issuing of red weather alerts across Scotland, Northern Ireland, we have taken the decision to close some of our stores until it is safe to reopen.
“The safety of our colleagues and customers is paramount, so all Asda stores in Northern Ireland have been closed from 6am today, until it is safe to reopen. Scottish stores in the worst-hit regions will be closed from 9am.
“This also means that our grocery home shopping and click-and-collect services scheduled today have been cancelled. Our teams will contact any affected customers directly.
“We thank all our customers and colleagues for their understanding and advise everyone to follow Met Office guidance for their area.”
