LOCAL shoppers will be the only ones in the North to shop around the clock later this month.
The Tesco store at Bury New Road, Prestwich, is the one of only four in the country to start all-night opening from Friday, February 28. The other stores are all in the South.
"We opened all night at Christmas and it was very successful," said Mr Peter Green, customer services manager at Tesco Prestwich.
"We are going to have all-night opening on a trial basis, to see if there is the demand at other times of the year."
Stores in Hemel Hempstead, Brent Cross and Horley, Surrey, will join Prestwich in the indefinite trial, and managers say staff are keen to give it a go.
Staff are paid at time-and-a-third for working overnight. The new trial will be every Friday.
