MORE than 300 people have applied for just 13 new jobs at a new Tesco Express.
The store, which is to open in Tuckton, attracted 329 applications.

“I am thrilled with the new team and I am confident that we will provide the best possible service to our customers. We are delighted to be opening a Tesco Express store on Tuckton Road and look forward to playing an active role in the local community.”
The shop will be open seven days a week, from 6am to 11pm, and will feature an ATM, self-service tills, a click and collect facility and customer parking.
