What's your definition of "next to"? I've decided to go for a broad one, in the hope that it may be useful to bashers.

A few come to mind:
Airdrie: An easy <5 minute walk from Morrisons, Tesco and Didldidi.
Shettleston: Tesco adjacent
Partick: Morrisons adjacent, Sainsbury's & M&S 5 minutes walk away
Anniesland: Morrisons adjacent
Armadale: Asda very close, but unsure as to route from station
Bathgate: Morrisons very close, but unsure as to route from station
Livingston North: Morrisons a 2-3 minute walk from the Eastbound platform (add 5 minutes from Westbound).
Hamilton West: Sainsbury's adjacent
Bellshill: Morrisons a few minutes walk away.
Alloa: Asda adjacent
Falkirk Grahamston: Tesco about 2 minutes walk, Asda only slightly further
Largs: Morrisons very close to back entrance IIRC, otherwise about a five minute walk from the main entrance
Irvine: M&S about 2 minutes walk - Tesco and Sainsbury's about 5 (apparently on the last two)
Lockerbie: Tesco nearby, but unsure as to route from station
Elgin: Asda and Didldidi adjacent
Inverness: Morrisons a few minutes walk away
Prestatyn: M&S adjacent, Tesco just two minutes walk away
Llandudno Junction: Asda adjacent (and Iceland), Tesco also very close but possibly a longer walk
Rhyl: Morrisons adjacent
Llandrindod (Wells): Tesco across the road
Hexham: Tesco nearby, apparently also a Waitrose

Keighley already mentioned for the Tesco, but there's an Asda even nearer.
Garforth has a Tesco just over the road from the York-bound platform.
Brighouse is a five minute walk from Sainsburys, I think there's an Aldi there too.
Denton or Reddish South (can't remember which) has a Morrison's next door, not that the station is much use!
Wakefield Kirkgate has a Polish supermarket nearby (on Kirkgate IIRC).
West Byfleet has a Waitrose.
Surbiton has a Waitrose and a Sainsburys close by.
Kingston has a Sainsburys.
Norbiton is near an Asda.
Aberystwyth used to have a Gateway right next door, years ago!

Gotcha - you missed Tesco in Milngavie

 

[61653 HTAFC]

Cross Gates has an M&S Food next door to the Leeds-bound platform entrance.
As you arrive into Huddersfield from the East you can see INTO the Tesco staffroom, but it's a good 5 minute walk as the entrance is on the bottom side.

Also, is Didldidi a nickname for Aldi/Lidl/both?

Moreton-in-Marsh - Budgens, right next to the station on the former site of the terminus of the Stratford & Moreton Tramway, which was later used by the GWR and BR as part of the station goods yard.

Instead of the planned "mega-Sainsbury's", there's an Aldi under construction just down the road from Huntingdon station, with Lidl not much further alongside the Ermine Street "Iron Bridge".
