About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as a delivery driver pulled up to Tesco for coffee, he noticed an odd whiff of fresh-baked bread wafting from inside. Curious, he parked and stepped in—only to see rows upon rows of donuts, piled high like never before. The delivery driver grinned, thinking it must be someone’s prank. He took a donut, bit into it—and nearly choked on his coffee when it tasted like home-baked goodness. Word spread quickly among locals who started dropping by every day. Soon enough, ‘Tesco’ became known not just for gas but also for its legendary free donut giveaways. A regular even left a note: “Thanks, neighbors!”

2. One day, while pumping gas at Tesco, a little boy pointed excitedly and asked his dad, ‘Dad, why does that pump make funny noises when I touch it?’ The father smiled and explained gently, 'Son, that's just the pump talking to you. It says hello every time someone touches it.' The boy nodded thoughtfully before adding, 'Cool!' Later, as they drove off, their neighbor waved and joked, “I heard your son was having an interesting conversation with our local petrol station!”

3. At nightfall, a neighborhood watch volunteer parked outside Tesco and switched on his flashlight. Suddenly, over the loudspeaker came a voice: ‘Attention, everyone! The last tank of gas is free tonight—just show your receipt from any local restaurant.’ A delivery driver pulled up, flashed his receipt, filled up for free, then joked, ‘Now I can finally afford that coffee!’ As he drove off, the volunteer chuckled, thinking, ‘Next time maybe I’ll check if it’s really their last tank.’

4. At sunrise, when most stations are quiet, an early bird pulled into Tesco for a quick fill-up. As he pumped gas, he heard soft footsteps behind him. Turning around, he saw only empty streets—until his reflection in the gas station’s window started waving goodbye. Curious, our driver looked away from the window—and there it was again: a wave from nowhere. Just as he was about to laugh it off, his car suddenly honked softly. Glancing back, he found himself smiling at his own reflection, who had just waved and mouthed ‘good morning’.
