Tesco Stores

The store would be ok if it wasn’t fronted by a disaster area called a car park. Whilst the store is big, management have not done its homework in assessing/​calculating the amount of times/​visits/​customers. This has resulted in people just driving around, and around, and around and around again. until you find a space. They are not alone in this faux pasthe other big stores are the same.

Pretty average as stores go. It is an extra but the best one is near Gatwick. The range of stock is not that big and they have a huge problem with restocking shelves it seems. Peak times are a nightmare for parking as you get stuck on the large roundabout trying to get into the retail park. As its joined to a really big Marks and Spencers at sales times its impossible to access and you are better off parking your car elsewhere near by and walking into it. There is a dedicated bus service to the retail park from Shoreham, Brighton and Hove and other outlying areas which is definitely worth copnsidering because it will ease your frustration at trolling round and round in circles praying to the car park angel for a space.
I can highly recommend the ladies and staff on the tobacco counter and customer services as always being friendly and ready to help. The other staff especially on the tills are young at weekends and again friendly.

This branch of Tescos is pretty enormous. Alonside all the usual food there is a large health and beauty section, and clothing department. The checkout queues can get pretty large at peak times so, as this shop is open 24 hours a day, it is best to try to go off peak, or better — shop online. I believe there is also a free local bus service to the store.

This Tesco is now an extra and it has a huge range of stock. I recently used the opticians and was very disappointed with the service. Not only did they give me the wrong colour frames (and argued with me about it), but they also put the lenses in the wrong eyes.

A huge Tesco out-​of-​town store on the north edge of Shoreham. It’s just off the A27, but the junction only allows access to and from the east. You can get to and from the west, and Brighton and Hove, via the A270 Old Shoreham Road.
It’s part of the larger Holmbush shopping centre, but the Tesco is the main (and busiest) store. It’s huge, and open 24 hours.
As a supermarket, it has just about everything you can possibly imagine in the normal range of groceries. In addition, fresh food counters include: a delicatessen, butcher, fish counter and hot chicken counter; and the specialist ranges include: Kosher, Polish, Asian and Afro-​Caribbean. There’s also a large clothing section, a pharmacy and an opticians. Facilities include toilets, cash-​points, baby-​changing facilities, a small recycling centre and it is fully accessible with step-​free access.
Outside is a Tesco petrol station that usually offers the cheapest petrol in the area, and is why I usually visit the store, if I’m honest. The only downer is that the petrol station is way too small at peak times, so be prepared to queue.
One of the new innovations is a series of free bus services operated by Brighton buses from various towns and villages and Brighton suburbs to and from the store. Full details are available on the Tesco website.
