Walmart own Asda – I think.

Check their websites perhaps?

If you’re looking for a gravel bike on a low budget, I’d suggest a secondhand Boardman.

I paid £250 for an ADV 8.9, but it did need a fair bit spent to get it running well.

You might get one of the lower spec ones for £250 off FB marketplace or ebay.

I know it’s not what you were asking, but the point is that they are good bikes full stop. Not just good for the price.

Walmart used to own Asda, but 2 brothers bought Walmart out about 4 year ago (I think)…

There’s a lot of cheap gravel / hybrid / Pandemic purchases going second hand.

My Vagabond was £500, having been ridden for 35 miles in two years before I bought it…

The $248 will be excluding sales tax so for a UK equivalent you’d need to add 20% VAT so it would be $297 but still a dirt cheap bargain.

Decathlon was my immediate thought, and they have some great stuff but nowhere near close to that

This is the closest i can come up with. Over twice the price but looks good for the money
