Tesco Extra

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, as customers were browsing through aisles, an unfamiliar voice crackled over the store’s PA system: ‘Attention shoppers! The cheese in section D is now officially aged longer than most of our customers.’ Customers froze, then burst into laughter. A delivery driver whispered, 'I bet that’s why it tastes so good!' Before anyone could react further, a familiar voice added: 'And remember, always check expiration dates—especially when shopping for immortality!'

2. In the late afternoon, when Tesco Extra’s shelves were almost empty and only a few shoppers lingered, a small dog bounded into the store, its tail wagging wildly. The animal darted between rows of cans and boxes, leaving confused customers in its wake until it suddenly disappeared behind the dairy section. Suddenly, an elderly gentleman pushing a trolley called out, ‘That little rascal must be heading for the bakery!’ And indeed, moments later, the dog emerged with a freshly baked loaf under his paw, causing a burst of laughter from everyone present. As quickly as he appeared, the canine vanished through the automatic doors, leaving behind a satisfied smile on every face—even the delivery driver who’d been muttering about ‘crazy dogs’ just minutes before.

3. One day, while scanning the grocery aisles for ingredients to impress guests, a regular asked aloud: ‘I wonder if they ever run out of cheese here?’ And just then, every single cheese display went completely blank. Just as everyone started whispering nervously, a delivery driver calmly walked in with a fresh crate labeled ‘Extra Cheese’—and everyone burst into laughter. Turns out, Tesco Extra never runs out of anything, especially when it comes to humor.

4. In the early morning, when most people were still asleep, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in one of the Tesco Extra shopping baskets. Among bananas and apples lay a small, glowing orb that seemed to follow him around the store. As he approached the checkout, the little ball started rolling towards an elderly lady’s basket. She smiled warmly and said, ‘Oh, bless you, my dear! Just what I needed for my special tea.’ The delivery driver sighed with relief—apparently, Tesco Extra had hired a new stocker who was also a magical fairy after all.
