Yes, Tesco is open on Good Friday. But—and there’s always a but—it’s not a normal day. Think of it as a bank holiday’s grumpy cousin who shows up to the party but leaves early.
Most Tesco stores, especially the big ones, will be open, but they’ll close earlier than usual. You’re looking at a finish time of around 5 PM or 6 PM, not the usual 10 PM or midnight. It’s like the shop is saying, “Alright, I’m clocking out—don’t push it.”
The “Express” Trap (A Cautionary Tale)
Ah, the Tesco Express. You know, the little gem on the corner that saves you from a hangover on a Tuesday morning. On Good Friday, they’re a different beast.
Many Express stores stick to their regular hours, but some will decide to close at 8 PM or even earlier. It’s a lottery. You might walk in to grab milk and instead find a locked door and a sign that reads “Closed for the holiday.” It’s like the shop is playing hide-and-seek with your sanity.
My advice? Don’t rely on the Express at 9 PM. It’s a gamble worse than betting on a horse because you liked its name.
