A STOURPORT shopper bagged more than her groceries after taking home a £500 gift card from Tesco.

Margaret Hardy said she was delighted to discover she had won the prize during the latest of her weekly shopping trips to the new store.

The Severn Road shop launched a promotion when it first opened last month, giving customers the change to win one of a number of prizes.

Chris Collins, store manager, said: “We wanted to ensure we were offering our new customers something extra special at their new Tesco store and the promotion is a great way to reward and thank our customers for their support.

“I am delighted that in the first couple of weeks we have already found a big winner.

“We would like to congratulate Mrs Hardy and we hope that she enjoys spending her prize.”

The promotion is running in store until Sunday, November 9 and every customer who scans a barcode is guaranteed a prize from £1 to £1,000.

Mr Collins added: “We have had an incredibly positive response and as everyone who scans is guaranteed a prize.

“We hope more customers will come back each week to scan their barcode and receive their prize.”
