This is a large Tesco Extra store, it is located towards the rear of St Stephen's Shopping Centre in Hull city centre.
It's pretty much a typical Tesco Extra in terms of the look/feel of the store, which still felt familiar to a first-time visitor to this store like myself, the opening hours between 6 am and midnight appear to be in line with other Tesco Extra's store, which unfortunately seemed to ditch 24-7 opening in the post-pandemic era.
Handheld scanners are available at the front of the store, where you can scan and bag items as you shop before going to the checkout to finish up. I did have difficulty unlocking scanners and had to enter my Clubcard number on multiple occasions. I much prefer the Sainsbury's and Marks and Spencer approach, of using their app on your phone to scan, rather than relying on an in-store scanner.
I did find the selection of food and drink in the to-go fridge section to be quite poor, I couldn't find a standard 500 ml iced tea in the entire store, and in the end, I had to opt for a large 1.25 litre bottle.
I did find it to be rather odd how the milk was divided up into two different sections, and I had to ask a staff member for help finding my preferred brand of milk, it's a big enough store and there's no reason they can't keep it all together.
3* - A nice supermarket sure, has some improvements to make, but no better or worse than the average Tesco. read more
