About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as customers were browsing aisles of Tesco Extra, an elderly gentleman approached the produce section and began speaking into thin air. ‘Apples today are sour,’ he declared, causing nearby shoppers to glance curiously at each other. Suddenly, a delivery driver walked by and asked what he was doing. The old man looked up with a twinkle in his eye and replied, 'Just telling the apples how much they’re needed today!' Everyone laughed, and soon enough, everyone forgot about it—except for one young mom who remembered her kids loved those ‘magic’ apples.

2. In the early hours, before sunrise, a delivery driver pulled up outside Tesco Extra. Suddenly, the air filled with a strange, sweet scent that lingered just long enough for everyone to notice but not long enough to identify. As he opened the back doors, a small brown package fell out and rolled under a nearby car. The driver bent down to retrieve it, only to discover it was a freshly baked apple pie still warm from the bakery. Everyone laughed as they imagined the overnight baker delivering desserts instead of groceries. From then on, whenever someone mentioned Tesco Extra late at night, people smiled and whispered, ‘Maybe it’s him again.’

3. In the middle of the night, a delivery driver pulled up outside Tesco Extra and whispered into the empty parking lot: ‘I’ve got something that won’t fit in any cart.’ Inside was a giant teddy bear wrapped in brown paper. The driver grinned sheepishly, explaining it was for his niece’s birthday. A nearby shopper chuckled, saying she’d always wondered who left those mysterious packages around Christmas time.

4. At dawn, when most supermarkets are quiet, a delivery truck pulled up outside Tesco Extra. The driver stepped out and stretched, only to notice something peculiar in one of the parked cars. Curious, he approached the car and saw an old man dozing off with a shopping cart full of groceries. Turns out, the guy had forgotten where he parked his trolley after a long night of grocery shopping. With a smile, the delivery driver helped him push it back home.
