Asda tealights are primarily sold under the George Home brand, which is the private label line for the British supermarket chain Asda. These products serve as a budget-friendly option for home ambiance and lighting. While Asda is a quintessential British retailer, like many private labels, their candles and tealights are sourced from various global suppliers, with major manufacturing hubs often located in the United Kingdom, Poland, or China, depending on the specific product line and seasonal demand.

The history of the brand is closely tied to Asda's expansion into lifestyle goods. Asda was originally founded in Yorkshire, England, and grew to become one of the 'Big Four' supermarkets in the UK. The ownership of the brand has seen significant shifts; for many years, it was a subsidiary of the American retail giant Walmart. However, in recent years, ownership transferred to a consortium led by the Issa brothers and TDR Capital, returning the brand to a British-based ownership structure while maintaining high-volume global sourcing and distribution through its extensive store network.
