Tesco Express, Hove

Right here I go.

This place is a nightmare to shop. Narrow isles and a confusing queuing checkout system (not sure if you have to queue for the self-service in the same queue as the checkout!). Not the kind of place to just pop in and pop out of without feeling anxious and stressed.

Furthermore. I understand that a store needs a security guard. But I feel a little intimidated by the one they use in this store. Maybe it's paranoia but I always feel like I'm been watched!

I'll be popping over the road to Sainsburys in future.

Located half way between the two shopping areas of Churchill Square and Blatchington Road, this Tesco Exress is handy for those forgotten items, or single purchases.

It does have a small range compared to it’s larger cousins, but most everyday items are here.

I popped in to get some headache tablets and came out with a fresh cream eclair!

Not the place to go for your main shopping, but ideal as a corner shop.

A larger than average branch of Tesco Express, close to Palmyra Square in Hove, useful for its long opening hours (including Sundays).

The range is still relatively limited, although it covers all the basics - groceries, wine and beer, a small fruit and veg section, essential toiletries and lots of ready meals. The store has level access, although the aisles are rather narrow for wheelchair users. It has both ordinary and serve-yourself check-outs, so it’s possible to do a quick shop.
