About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Tesco Extra, a sign appeared one day over the checkout counters: ‘If you see a unicorn in aisle seven, it’s not a mistake.’ Employees shrugged it off until customers started reporting sightings. Word spread quickly, and soon people from all over flocked to aisle seven. One evening, a delivery driver even claimed he saw a unicorn helping himself to free bananas. The manager finally posted another sign: 'Unicorns only take organic bananas.' Everyone laughed, and Tesco Extra became known for its quirky sense of humor.

2. At Tesco Extra, every morning around sunrise, employees started noticing a strange humming sound coming from the freezer aisle. No one could explain it—until one day, a delivery driver mentioned hearing the same noise in his truck on the way to work. Soon enough, everyone in the store was talking about it. Even customers started reporting the eerie hum. One old lady claimed she heard it singing ‘Happy Birthday’ to her. Finally, an engineer came to investigate and declared: 'It's just the air conditioning unit doing its thing.' Everyone laughed and went back to shopping, except for that one guy who insisted he still heard it whistling along to ABBA.

3. At dawn, when the Tesco Extra parking lot was empty but for a lone delivery truck, its headlights cast eerie shadows on the quiet aisles inside. A security guard dozed off behind the counter, unaware that something unusual had begun. Suddenly, an old lady in a blue coat appeared from around the corner of the dairy section, muttering about misplaced milk cartons. The guard stirred awake and smiled sheepishly, realizing he’d missed her shopping trip earlier. ‘Morning, Mrs. Jenkins,’ he said with a yawn. ‘Did you forget your loyalty card again?’

4. At Tesco Extra, every night at exactly midnight, a faint whispering could be heard coming from the refrigerated aisles. No one knew what it said or who was speaking, but everyone agreed it sounded like someone saying, 'Fresh is best!' One evening, a delivery driver swears he saw an old lady pushing a shopping cart filled with expired goods, smiling and muttering ‘Fresh is best!’ as she disappeared into the fog. A week later, a neighbor reported hearing the same whispering while watering her plants—only for it to turn out that her sprinkler had malfunctioned during the night.
