Tesco announces 30-minute car park rule for scheme at some stores

Tesco says the bays will offer free hot drinks and biscuits, with a 30-minute limit, after research found 42% of Britons seek supermarket solitude.

  • On Saturday, April 11, Tesco will launch 'Park and Pause' bays at 10 UK store locations, offering visitors dedicated spaces for tranquility as part of its 'Need anything from Tesco?' campaign.
