Tesco turns store touch points to wood, so superstitious England fans can wish their
team luck
Even when it comes to supporting your nation’s football team,
Tesco knows that, home or away, every little helps.
Ahead of England’s highly anticipated semi-final clash with Argentina, the supermarket is
calling on the nation’s shoppers to give our team the ultimate superstitious advantage.
For as long as England stay in the tournament, Tesco will replace everyday fixtures in their
Wembley Extra store with solid wooden versions, along with a solid wooden 6 sheet
poster outside the store.
Shoppers will find specially crafted wooden trolley handles, basket handles and till
dividers across the store. For the ultimate good luck charm, an entire checkout lane (the
famously lucky number seven) has been completely transformed into a wooden
monument to good fortune. And of course, till 13 will be removed.
Carved into each wooden fixture is the line, ‘England needs you. Touch here for luck. Every
little helps’, a nod to the brand’s wider ‘Need anything from Tesco?’ campaign that rolled
out earlier this year.
Fans are encouraged to head down to Tesco’s Wembley store – the home of England
football – grab their half-time essentials and give Till 7 a tap before kickoff.
