I'm not sure if it's the American in me, but I love BIG stores. That's not saying that I don't…read moreshop local, because I most certainly do and try to as much as possible, but there is something about the draw of a big store that has me coming back time and time again. Most recent to shop for a Thanksgiving dinner I hosted for 15 of my friends.
Everything about this Tesco Extra is great. It's big, it's bright, it's airy. There are nooks and crannys of goodies everywhere you turn. I've even noticed lately, there's a self serve kiosk to print pictures that you can simply hook up to your phone (they have phone jacks for every type of phone) and print photo quality pictures from your phone!! How mega is that?!
I come here when I'm looking for things I can't find close to where I live (not that this Tesco is far away). They have loads of different ethnic sections where I have been able to buy things from back home that I wouldn't normally find at my local shops in town. Canned pumpkin and corn meal being two of the items I picked up for my party.
The employees here have always been nothing less than helpful when I've needed them, and although it's always slammed packed with people, I've never had any issues with getting in and out with ease when I've needed to.
There is underground parking which is fab on those rainy days (if you drive) and nearby access to public transportation if you need it. Also, in the building that houses Tesco, there's a post office, a Greggs, a card store, a dentist office, among other things. It really could be your one stop shop in the Mary Hill area! :)
Although I prefer to shop local, there are just some days when a mega store is where I can find what I'm looking for! i'll always be back!
