About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while stocking shelves, a Tesco employee noticed an odd humming sound coming from the dairy aisle. Curious neighbors reported hearing it too—a low, persistent tone that seemed to follow them home. It turned out to be just a faulty refrigerator, but by then everyone in town had their own theory—from ghosts to aliens. Eventually, a repairman fixed it with a simple tune-up, and the humming stopped as mysteriously as it began. Since then, whenever someone mentions the strange noise, people smile and say, ‘Ah, must’ve been those Tesco ghosts again!’

2. One night, as a delivery driver unloaded groceries into the backroom of Tesco, he swore he saw a shadowy figure slipping between boxes. Curious but cautious, he followed the ghostly shape only to discover… nothing. As he peered closer, the delivery driver realized it was just an old shopping bag caught on a shelf. Embarrassed, he laughed it off and went back outside—only to bump into his own reflection in the window. Turns out, Tesco had installed new security mirrors that day, and everyone thought they were seeing things.

3. In the early hours of one foggy morning, a Tesco delivery driver parked his truck in the loading bay and began unloading crates. To his surprise, amidst the usual cans and boxes, he found a small, dusty violin nestled among the carrots. Curious, he picked it up—it played a soft melody on its own. As word spread through the store, customers started humming along. By closing time, everyone was dancing in the aisles. That day, Tesco became more than just groceries; it was music to everyone’s ears.

4. One day in the late afternoon, as a Tesco cashier rang up customers' purchases, she overheard a regular muttering under his breath, ‘I swear I saw that banana smile at me.’ The cashier smiled and said, 'Maybe it was just the light.' The customer shook his head, insisting the banana had indeed winked back. Suddenly, a delivery driver walked by, dropping an empty box. Out popped another banana, which waved cheerfully at everyone. That’s when they realized: maybe Tesco bananas were just friendlier than they looked.
