About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At nightfall, a delivery driver pulled up to Tesco Express with an unusual load: boxes marked ‘Top Secret’. The next morning, customers found mysterious notes taped inside their shopping bags—handwritten messages predicting tomorrow’s weather. Over the weeks, more and more people started checking their groceries for secret predictions. One day, an elderly lady found a note that simply said, 'Today will be cold enough for your grandson's sweater.' And indeed, it was chilly that afternoon. From then on, everyone looked forward to seeing what Tesco Express would predict next.

2. One morning, a regular muttered under his breath as he passed the empty shelves: ‘I haven’t seen these aisles so quiet since last week’s sale.’ Just then, a delivery driver appeared, pushing a trolley overflowing with goods. 'Morning!' he chirped. 'Got everything you need for your staycation.' The regular blinked, confused, until he realized: Tesco Express had been closed for renovations, and everyone was stockpiling essentials for an imaginary vacation.

3. At midnight, a delivery truck pulled into the Tesco Express parking lot, its engine humming like a distant hummingbird. A lone security guard peered out, puzzled by the soft, rhythmic tapping that followed. The tapping grew louder and more insistent, until a familiar voice called from behind the wheel: ‘Mate, I’m trying to deliver these cans of beans!’ The guard laughed, shaking his head as he unlocked the gate. Turned out it was just a neighbor, picking up some essentials after hours.

4. At closing time, a customer asked the cashier: ‘Why is there a full moon every time I come here?’ The cashier smiled and replied, ‘Oh, that’s because you always come here on the first day of the month.’ The customer thought for a moment then said, ‘But it feels like I’m visiting Tesco Express every night!’ And they both laughed as the store closed for the evening.
