About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when Tesco’s pumps hummed their quietest, a delivery driver noticed something odd. The parking lot lights flickered on their own, casting eerie shadows across empty gas cans. Curious, he approached and saw a neighbor watering his garden in the early morning mist. ‘What’re you doing here?’ asked the startled man. With a sheepish grin, the driver replied, “Just checking if your sprinklers were working.”

2. At dusk, while filling up at Tesco, a delivery driver spotted an old umbrella propped against the pump. Curious, he picked it up—only to find it had been left there for weeks. Smiling, he took it inside and asked the manager if anyone had reported losing an umbrella. The manager shrugged and said, ‘Not that I know of.’ Later that evening, as the delivery driver was leaving, he noticed an elderly gentleman standing outside Tesco with a big smile on his face, holding exactly the same umbrella. Turns out, it belonged to his neighbor who’d forgotten it years ago!’

3. In the dead of night, a delivery driver pulled into Tesco for a quick fill-up. As he pumped gas, he swore he saw a shadowy figure reflected in the window—an old man, wearing a fedora and holding a newspaper, standing motionless. Curious, the driver glanced around but saw no one. Just as he was about to finish pumping, the reflection moved ever so slightly. Startled, he asked aloud, ‘Who’s there?’ A voice from behind replied, ‘Just your friendly neighborhood customer, sir.’ Turning, he found an elderly gentleman smiling warmly, clearly not the ghostly figure from before. They chatted briefly about the weather, and the old fellow bought some milk on his way out. The delivery driver shook his head, laughing softly—he’d been seeing things after all.

4. At midnight, when Tesco’s neon lights were the only glow on the deserted street, a delivery driver heard a strange whispering sound. Peering inside, he saw nothing but empty aisles and shelves. Yet, every now and then, someone seemed to be calling out from the backroom. Curious, he followed the voice deeper into the warehouse until he found an old radio playing softly in the corner. Turns out, it was just his colleague, a regular night owl who liked listening to talk shows while working late. The delivery driver laughed it off, realizing that sometimes Tesco’s eerie silence could drive even the most experienced worker a little nuts.
