Tesco Stores

It is very nice store but car park is terrible with a lot of pillars. Gate to a car park is short. Don’t think to come with hakni taxi and van.

I want to love this store for being the only place in Brum I’ve found selling Taytos, which are awesome Irish crisps. In fact its world food selection is pretty extensive, which is a definite plus.
However this shop is huge and fills with me with despair as I just can’t figure out what sort of maverick thought up the structure to it. Last night I went in looking for salad (that was a bit limited at 8pm) and to see whether they had any molasses. I hopelessly wandered the aisle, finding the maple syrup which was miles away from the golden syrup and not near the sugar either. Trying to find a member of staff was nigh on impossible and when I finally did I had to explain what molasses was. In the end I gave up.
I paid for my purchases only to find out the exit onto Broad St closes at 8pm and so had to try and navigate my way back to the other side of the large store.
At several points I was convinced I would be trapped in there forever, like some plot to a Goosebumps novel.

This tesco is huge in comparison to others, its a very good size offering a wide range of products. i think it is great for food shopping but also for clothes and electircal goods as well.
The staff are always friendly and are helpfull if you can not find something that you are looking for. The store, café and toilets are always clean and i always see cleaners around when i am in there.
i have also started using the tesco shopping online. Im please with the quality food that has been picked by staff in store and also get to my door with out bruising fruits or the old flattened loaf of bread problems we usually get when were in a rush.
The shopping arrive on an allocated time. the drivers are friendly and approachable and they also drop it off in your kitchen, which is a bonus. I think its clever how tesco offer a cheap range of products (tesco value) a medium range (tesco brand) and a more expensive but higher quality range (tesco finest) as it giver a wider spectrum of variety. Overall i think that this store is clean and also offers a free car park up to 2 hrs.
There is also a tesco petrol pump outside so you can fill up on fuel and also use club card point saving there from the shopping you have just done.

Tesco’s is Tesco’s but I like the fact this store is large, well laid out with a good entertainment section and serves the needs of the local community with its wide range of World Food items.
Bonus for me is the carpark. It has a roof, nothing worse than trying to load your car boot as the wind and rain gives you 30 lashes!

The enormous Tesco at Five Ways is a vast commercial hub in the centre of town, attracting shoppers from miles around with their large selection of fresh and frozen produce, baked goods, home appliances, books and dvds, and plenty more besides. As is standard with Tesco, the store has a regularly changing array of special offers on a range of products, making the shopping experience far more rewarding for the canny, eagle-​eyed bargain hunter.
There is sufficient room here to provide several varieties of each type of food and drink, and the store has an extensive selection of vegetarian food and specialist cuisine such as oriental and west asian produce and ingredients. A huge fresh fruit and vegetable section offers great value on a range of perennial and seasonal produce, and the store also stocks a range of pre-​mixed salads and stir fry vegetable selections.
Whether you like to cook for yourself or prefer a microwaved ready meal, there’s so much choice here that you can get a bit carried away and find yourself wishing you’d brought a larger trolley. It can get extremely busy close to closing time, especially on Mondays, so to avoid the crush it’s a good idea to get down there early.

Positives: Great location at Five Ways island, good range, including house wares, pharmacy, café music etc.
Negatives: It’s a really odd shaped store, and difficult to navigate. I’ve got home to find two ‘fresh’ items that I bought were past their sell by date. There is a pharmacy, but on the two occasions I’ve tried to use it there has been a notice «Closed 1 – 2 for lunch» which seems really silly as a high percentage of the customers seem to be office staff from the area who would take their lunch at, yes, 1 – 2. Also queues at the tills can be a nightmare, but I guess this is a symptom of everyone shopping 1 – 2 rather than the stores fault.

This store is a strange shape, made up of two squares interlocking at a corner. This can make it difficult to find your way around on a first visit, but after a few trips you will learn your way around.
There is a back entrance which is served by several ’10 items or less’ checkouts. The main checkouts at the front of the store are few and have large queues at peak times.
As well as food and drink this store also has a pharmacy, hardware and clothes sections.

This is a large store of theirs with the various sections made spacious not suprising so considering the huge number of customers it gets coming through its doors.
Had a really helpful staff who went out of her way in assisting me find a sandwish i wanted; which was a considerable walk from where i was initially.
Although Tesco do sell items at reasonable prices and assuring quality i do have to say their café that is like an annex to their supermarket do sell meals at steep prices. They did look tempting and mouthwatering to eat though i have to say. A two slice tuna sandwich costed something like £2.89, something which i bought as a one-​off.
