Peel’s Big Tesco to Open This Week

Hold onto your baskets, Peel.

After a bit of a wait, Tesco is set to open its latest superstore on Derby Road this Thursday, October 31 at 8am.

This is number eight of nine new Tesco stores popping up across the Isle of Man after their takeover of Shoprite last year.

To mark the occasion, Tesco’s handing a cool £1,000 to the Manx Whale and Dolphin Watch – a charity focused on conserving whales, dolphins, porpoises and basking sharks around the Isle of Man.

Store manager Anthony Teare added: ‘We’re really pleased to be opening our new Peel Superstore.

‘We want to play a key role supporting the local community and we’re encouraging groups and charities to sign up for our Stronger Starts and food donation programmes.
