Tesco Extra

A huge Tesco with clothing, electricals and music on the first floor accessed by a travelator (a lift is also available)
I like this Tesco although it is far from perfect.
The toilets are very hit and miss-​on my last visit with two out of the three toilets being out of order not good on a busy weekend!
Another HUGE disappointment is the café no longer run by Tesco. Unless you are starving avoid (and if you do feel you HAVE to eat choose carefully) The breakfasts are particularly dreadful.
The store itself is decent. The first section is the newspapers and magazines, this is always well stocked with an amazing array of titles. There is a very large book section and the stationary section has a large amount card making essentials.
The huge amount of seasonal items ensures that there are regularly great bargains to be had. This Tesco has a very high number of items reduced to clear.(bargains I have managed to get have included a exercise bike,(£19) a blender juicer,(£7.50!) a electric drill (£5) and a belt sander (£5)
The clothing bargains are also well worth checking out. I always like going to the second floor as I like the music they play! and I also seem to get loads of reduced things. These include clothing but also a DAB radio and some great CD’s. The first floor is quite spacious and it is easy to browse round.
The ground floor is slightly more crowded. They now have a pharmacy which is very useful. The cosmetic and toiletry section are well stocked and regularly have decent offers.
The fruit and veg section is well stocked but very cramped the amount of continuous filling up that goes on makes it more like an assault course than a shopping experience.(the bruise on my foot took two weeks to fully clear Melons are hard and they HURT!)
The bakery is good and the actual bakers are helpful and friendly however not all of the bakery staff share the bakers attitude.
Despite Tesco Irlam being huge often it is hard to negotiate and rather unpleasant. The reason for this??? The obsession that this branch has with home shopping there are LOADS of those dratted trolley things, whats more they won’t give an inch to mere customers. It is not unusual to see three in one isle-​VERY difficult to pass (and impossible if they don’t want you to do so!)
Parking is good with a very large quite well lit car park. It is a twenty four hour shop open between 8am Mon– 10pm Sat.
The store is situated just of the A57 and also has a petrol station.
One additional point to note is there is a Lidil about 30 seconds away which is also worth a look.
All in all a good store with fantastic bargain hunting potential. Downside facilities need sorting and oh those home shopping trollies!

I like this Tesco as it is my Local one. There is an Asda, Morrisons and Sainsburys all locally but I still find I am in Tesco more than any of the others.
It may just be a sign of the times but this store seems to have loads of really good offers and excellent products.
It has food, electrical, clothing etc as well as a pharmacy (all I need there is a GP and an Optician then I don’t think I would need to go anywhere else)
