About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while loading groceries into his car, a neighbor noticed an unusual sound coming from inside Tesco’s parking lot—a soft humming, almost like someone singing in a foreign language. Curious passersby began stopping to listen, and soon enough, the humming grew louder and more distinct, turning into a rhythmic chant that seemed to come from nowhere and everywhere simultaneously. Finally, the source turned out to be an elderly delivery driver practicing his karaoke skills in the empty aisle. Everyone burst out laughing, and from then on, every Saturday at dawn, you could hear him belting out old English ballads while stocking shelves—much to the amusement of nearby residents.

2. In the early hours of one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Tesco with a full truckload of fresh produce. Suddenly, from inside the store, came a high-pitched giggle that seemed too young and too happy for such an early hour. Curious, the driver opened the door just a crack—only to see a tiny ghostly figure dancing among the apples, singing ‘Happy Birthday’ in a voice so clear it echoed through the empty aisles. Startled but amused, he closed the door quickly, never mentioning it again. To this day, locals say you can still hear those magical birthday songs on foggy nights when no one’s watching.

3. In the middle of the night, a Tesco employee heard a strange rustling in the produce section. Curious, she approached only to see a small child reaching for glowing apples that seemed to move on their own. Curious, she followed them and soon found herself in an aisle where everything glowed softly—even the bananas were neon-green! Turns out, it was just a delivery driver testing new LED lighting for the store’s grand reopening next week. The employee laughed, realizing her adventure was nothing more than a clever marketing stunt. From then on, whenever anyone asked if Tesco had ghostly apples, she’d smile and say, ‘Only on opening night!’

4. At dawn, when most supermarkets are quiet, a delivery driver pulled up outside Tesco. As he unloaded crates, he swore he saw a shadowy figure darting between aisles. Curious, he followed the shadow until it vanished behind an aisle of canned goods. Just as he was about to call out, he heard a familiar voice from nearby: ‘Mate, you’re blocking my shopping!’ Turned out, it was just his neighbour, pushing a trolley filled with breakfast cereals.
