About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the late afternoon, a little boy named Max was pushing his shopping cart down the aisles of Tesco. Suddenly, he stopped and pointed excitedly at an empty shelf. ‘Mom!’ he whispered, ‘the cereal boxes are talking!’ Max’s mom smiled gently, kneeling beside him. She picked up an empty box and pretended to whisper back, causing both of them to giggle. As they continued their shopping, other customers glanced curiously but soon went on with their own errands, amused by the friendly banter between mother and son.

2. At dawn one morning, a Tesco delivery driver noticed something peculiar on the shelves: boxes of cereal with faces that seemed to change expression as you walked past them. Curious, he leaned in closer—only for the entire shelf to shift slightly and reveal a note taped to the back of one box: ‘Change your face, get a free bag of chips!’

3. Late one night, as a security guard patrolled the aisles of Tesco, he heard an odd humming sound coming from the frozen food section. Curious, he approached and saw nothing out of place—until he noticed a small, glowing light under a crate of ice cream. Peering closer, he found a sleepy pigeon, its head stuck in a half-opened door. The guard gently freed the bird, who promptly flew off, cooing with gratitude. The next morning, everyone laughed when they saw the security report: ‘Found lost pigeon in frozen foods.’

4. In the early hours of the morning, a Tesco employee was restocking the dairy section when she found an unusual item among the milk cartons. It looked like a small, handwritten note, but it kept appearing in different locations around the store. Finally, after days of searching, she discovered that it was just a sticky note left by a delivery driver reminding himself where he parked his van. The next day, everyone had a good laugh over coffee, and the mystery of the moving notes became part of local Tesco folklore.
