About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At nightfall, an anonymous voice crackled over Tesco’s intercom: ‘Last one out of Tesco, please turn off the moonlight.’ A delivery driver, grumbling under his breath, asked aloud, 'Who turns off the sun?' Just then, a neighbor peered around the corner and whispered, 'I did—with my remote control.' The intercom crackled again: 'Next time use the switch, not magic!'

2. At dawn, when most supermarkets are still quiet, someone started leaving mysterious notes in Tesco’s produce section. Each note read simply: 'Pick one and leave one.' One day, a delivery driver found an extra banana among his goods. Smiling, he added it to his basket before leaving another apple behind. Soon, everyone in town was playing along—leaving an orange for the baker, a tomato for the butcher, until finally, an old neighbor left a single rose for the night manager. By sunset, Tesco looked like a miniature farmers’ market, filled with smiles and laughter.

3. In the dairy aisle, every morning around sunrise, a small dog appeared from nowhere, chasing its tail and barking at the milk bottles. No one knew where it came from or why it vanished as quickly as it arrived. One day, an old lady picked up a bottle of yogurt and asked the cashier, ‘Did you see that little dog this morning?’ The cashier shrugged, smiling: ‘Must be someone’s pet. They always leave milk out for him.’ A few days later, a delivery driver joked, ‘I brought extra milk today—looks like our furry friend is growing!’ And so, Tesco’s dairy aisle became known not just for fresh produce but also for its daily canine visitor who loved milk more than most humans.

4. In the frozen food section, late one night, a delivery driver swears he saw a shadowy figure reaching into the ice cream display. The next day, everyone found a free tub of vanilla waiting in their shopping cart. A few days later, an elderly neighbor popped by with a homemade pie and whispered that she’d seen the same ghostly hand placing cookies on her shopping list. Since then, many Tesco shoppers joke that the store’s spirit delivers treats for loyal customers.
