About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the early morning fog of an ordinary Tuesday, a Tesco delivery driver noticed something peculiar. As he unloaded crates into the backroom, he kept hearing soft laughter coming from the empty aisles. Curious, he followed the sound and found himself face-to-face with a mischievous carton of milk, grinning playfully. Startled, he laughed aloud, realizing it was just his imagination playing tricks on him. From that day on, whenever anyone asked why there were always extra bananas in the stockroom, he’d wink and say, ‘A neighbor dropped them off.’

2. On a stormy night when most supermarkets were closed, a Tesco delivery driver found himself delivering groceries to an empty parking lot. As he approached the entrance, he heard soft laughter coming from inside. Curious, he peered through the window and saw a ghostly figure pushing a shopping cart filled with cans of beans. ‘Excuse me,’ said the driver, ‘are you lost?’ The figure turned around, revealing a smiling old lady in a raincoat. ‘Just doing my weekly shop,’ she replied cheerfully. They ended up becoming neighbors, and every stormy night after that, Mrs. Jenkins would meet him at Tesco for some impromptu grocery dates.

3. In the dead of night, a Tesco delivery driver heard a strange humming noise coming from one of the freezers. Curious, he opened the door—and found rows upon rows of glowing bananas waving in unison. Intrigued and slightly spooked, the driver closed his eyes and counted to three before opening the door again. This time, the bananas were gone, replaced by a note reading: ‘Thanks for your hard work—have a banana tomorrow!’ The next morning, everyone in the neighborhood received a mysterious package containing nothing but fresh bananas.’

4. Late one Friday night, as a Tesco delivery driver loaded groceries into the back of his truck, he overheard two neighbors whispering excitedly near the entrance. "Did you hear?" one said, "Tesco's opening on Sundays now—just like they promised last year!" The driver shook his head and smiled, knowing full well that Tesco had never made such a promise. As he drove away, the delivery driver chuckled to himself. ‘Next time someone asks if I work for Tesco,’ he thought, ‘I’ll just say “Yes, sir, and I deliver promises too!”’
