When are Tesco branches opening and closing?

Tesco has more than 3,400 stores across the UK and you can find your nearest – including store opening times – using the supermarket's store locator tool.

The supermarket has implemented special opening times for the elderly and vulnerable and early closures to help restock shelves.

A spokesman for the store said it has temporarily stopped its 24 hour opening times to help with restocking.

Many stores are opening at 6am or 7am in the morning and closing at 10pm.

On Sundays, there is an hour of browsing before checkouts open dedicated to NHS workers. This won’t apply to its express stores.

A statement from Tesco also said it was closing its deli counters and cafes for the foreseeable future to help in other parts of the stores.

We suggest you call you nearest store before heading out to shop as they may alter their timings over the next few weeks.
