About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the quiet aisles of Tesco, a regular noticed something odd one evening. His young son, trailing behind with a shopping cart, suddenly froze mid-step and pointed excitedly towards an empty shelf. "Dad, look!" he whispered, eyes wide as he watched a box of cereal slowly slide off its perch and float into the air. The father looked around nervously but saw no one else reacting. Just as quickly as it began, the cereal box dropped back onto the shelf. They shrugged it off as a fluke until, weeks later, another customer reported seeing cans of beans levitating near the endcap. Eventually, word spread among neighbors that visiting Tesco on Wednesdays might be good luck—or maybe just time for a break from reality.

2. At dawn, when most supermarkets are still closing up, a delivery driver pulled into Tesco's loading bay. The parking lot was eerily silent except for an unfamiliar sound – soft humming coming from inside. Curious, he peered through the window and saw a shadowy figure singing along to an old radio. As he approached closer, the figure turned around—an elderly neighbor, Mrs. Jenkins, who lived above the store. Turns out she’d forgotten her keys again and had decided to serenade herself while waiting for someone to open the door. The delivery driver left with a smile, thinking it would be safer to shop elsewhere in future.

3. In the chilly pre-dawn hours, a delivery driver pulled into the Tesco parking lot and asked himself, ‘Why does this shopping cart keep following me?’ As he turned around for the tenth time, the cart gave a little wave and said, 'Morning, mate!' Startled, the driver laughed it off until his neighbor walked past, casually pushing an identical cart that said, ‘Welcome to Tesco!’ The driver shook his head, got out of the truck, and together they pushed their talking carts into the store—apparently, Tesco had hired some friendly neighborhood greeters today.

4. In the early morning fog, before sunrise had fully lit up the streets, a delivery driver pulled into the Tesco parking lot. The soft hum of refrigerated trucks blended with the distant chirping of birds, creating an eerie yet peaceful scene. As he approached the loading bay, the delivery driver noticed something odd—a small door was ajar, leading to the staff-only area. Curiosity got the better of him, and he peeked inside. To his surprise, there was a freshly baked cake on the counter, wrapped in cellophane. With a mischievous smile, he thought, 'A free cake? Why not?' He took it back to his truck, where his dog eagerly licked icing off his face. Later that day, everyone in the neighborhood whispered about the mysterious midnight cake donor.'
