Asda, is owned by Wall-Mart, but trades under
the ASDA name.

Asda UK seem to be grocery stores with a smaller non-grocery (clothing,
electronics) selection, similar to Tesco. Walmart in the US started out as
department stores (clothing, dry goods), expanded to include a small grocery
selection, and now certain "Super Walmarts" have a full grocery selection.
Walmart in the US also has some smaller grocery only outlets.

Tesco's experiment in the US - Fresh & Easy, smaller grocery only outlets seems
to have failed. They've closed a number of them over the last year. Shame - I
liked them.
