Arena Tesco's Up And Running

Last updated : 04 November 2004 By Covsupport
With the first building on the Arena Coventry site at Rowleys Green up and running, Covsupport thought that we should check out the new Tescos Extra store.

Supposedly,the biggest in Britain, it was certainly big and you could probably get a full size football pitch in under its roof.

The main thing you notice about the store opened by City players Patrick Suffo,Claus Jorgensen,Steve Staunton and Luke Steele on Monday is the amount of space between isles.

The store owners hope that people will travel from as far away as Leicester and Birmingham but it is more likely that the store with 49 tills (the Cannon Park outlet only has 23), will be used by local people.

There is plenty of parking as well as a petrol station.
