Tesco - Long Eaton
Image: © David Lally Taken: 3 Nov 2007
Opened 1st November 2004. When Tesco wanted to build a huge Tesco extra in Long Eaton, they had only a relatively small site on which to build it. So put it on “stilts” with the most of the car park underneath. This also has the advantage of increasing the turnover on wet weekends as shoppers come here instead of the ASDA a few hundred yards away to avoid getting wet when loading their cars.
