If you want to know why independent shops across the UK are closing every day, check out Tesco’s swanky new superstore. Occupying a mammoth site, the Superstore contains everything from an in-house butcher and fishmonger to a bakery, deli counter and grocery. There’s also aisles and aisles of fresh produce, frozen goods, ready meals, store cupboard essentials, toiletries and kitchenware. Not content with putting local food shops out of business, they’ve also added an electrical department, a photo department and a clothes department. I know, Tesco offers salvation to students, busy parents and bulk buyers. The problem is, their salvation comes with a heavy price and that’s other retailers losing their businesses and livelihoods. To add insult to injury, the store is drafty and soul-less.

The brand new Tesco Superstore in Litherland opened not so long ago and is situated in a convenient location nearby Bootle making it easy to reach for locals. This Tesco is unique because it is the largest Tesco I have ever been to and it sells a wide range of products and offers extra departments such as electrical, digital photo printing and also has a cafeteria which is ideal for families and friends. In addition, it has the usual delicious bakery, deli, fish and meat sections and hosts a clothes section. Toilets are easily accessible as well as disabled. The number of tills does not fall short and there is the option of self-service checkout with all the space you require. All this means it’s your shop-in-one! Another plus to mention is that car parking is spacious. There are trolley bays everywhere with zebra crossings for pedestrians so access to and from the supermarket which is ideal.
