B&Q has reportedly ended its partnership with Asda to concentrate on its smaller stores.
The partnership was first launched in 2020, when Asda announced plans to broaden its in-store partnerships strategy with the trial of a new convenience format with forecourt operator EG Group and the introduction of B&Q mini-stores within its supermarkets.
The B&Q collaboration placed DIY areas in four Asda superstores, the first of which opened in Dagenham and Sheffield.
Operated by B&Q, they offer a range of products alongside Click and Collect points for online orders.
According to an exclusive by Retail Week, B&Q has plans to shut eight UK concessions to focus on opening its smaller, High Street stores.
The DIY retailer is set to close the Asda concessions early next month.
Just under sixty employees will be impacted by the closures.

As a company, we are focused on listening to our colleagues and customers to help them with the issues they are facing in-store and so far, the feedback on our body cameras has been excellent.

Supplying demand: how fashion retailers can meet the needs of customers and still be sustainable
The fashion industry is no stranger to breaking the mould and setting trends, but the pursuit of style can come at a huge cost to the environment.
New legislation, such as the European Union's Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation, will set mandatory minimums for the inclusion of recycled fibres in textiles, making them longer-lasting and easier to repair.
