About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, as customers were browsing aisles in Tesco supermarket, an announcement came over the intercom: ‘Attention please—if you see a banana wearing glasses, do not attempt to check out!’ Soon enough, everyone started laughing when they saw a delivery driver trying to scan a banana with spectacles. The security guard had to explain that it was just a prank, and soon after, the entire store erupted into giggles. That day became legendary among locals, who often visited Tesco hoping for another unexpected announcement.

2. In the early morning hours, while a lone delivery driver unloaded groceries, a strange humming sound echoed through the empty aisles of Tesco. The driver stopped mid-step, straining to hear if anyone else noticed. Curious, he followed the noise and found an old radio tucked behind some boxes, playing softly to itself. Smiling, he switched it off and headed back outside—only to realize his headphones were still plugged into his phone, creating the eerie hum.

3. Late one Friday afternoon, while a young cashier scanned items at lightning speed, she noticed something odd on the security camera feed. Suddenly, an old lady pushing a trolley wobbled into view, her face hidden behind a large basket of groceries. The cashier leaned in closer—was that a mischievous glint in her eye? Before she could react, the lady whispered, 'Just checking if you’re still open late tonight...' and disappeared down the aisle. Everyone burst out laughing when they saw the footage later that evening.

4. In the depths of night, while most shops slept, a faint humming began to echo through the aisles of Tesco supermarket. A delivery driver, adjusting boxes on the loading dock, tilted his head curiously. Was it coming from inside? Curious, he peered into an empty aisle and saw, glowing softly in the dim light, a row of cans that seemed to move ever so slightly. Startled, he called out, ‘Hello?’ Only for a nearby can of beans to roll off the shelf and land with a clatter. The delivery driver laughed, shaking his head, realizing it was just another late-night prank by their neighborhood mischief-makers.’
