This is a Tesco Extra so as you can imagine it is pretty big. As any Tesco shopper will know, stores are pretty much a carbon copy of each other and this is no exception. There are departments selling:
Mag, papers, sandwiches etc
Stationery
Basic housewares e.g. kitchen ware, towels, bathroom items
Small electricals
Some large eletricals but mainly just entertainment items
DVD's and books
Toiletries, make up, hair care, perfumes
Tons of food (obviously)
Clothes
and there is a cafe.

This store has a massive car park which makes it very easy to visit. The store has pretty much everything a person could ever need and it is cheap! Oh and there is a petrol station and car wash too!
