Tesco Danestone

Tesco Danestone is a Tesco Extra Superstore located just outside the Bridge of Don area and can be reached by taking the roundabout directly opposite at the Aberdeen Exhibition Centre, go up the hill and across the next two roundabouts. On the right is a scrapyard, take the left turn and this brings you to Danestone Tesco. If you are driving from the Haudagain roundabout then the easiest directions are to cross the roundabout towards Mike's Fish and Chips and a garage. Continue to the next roundabout and Tesco Danestone is on the right.
Tesco Danestone is open 24 hours and has a large car park and a petrol and diesel station. There is a free air and water pump there. The complex includes a dry cleaner and photo processing shop. Within the supermarket is a Tesco Pharmacy and Chemist. Next to this is a Tesco Optician.

This is the largest Tesco store in Aberdeenshire and has a large cafe, clothing and electrical sections and aisles of books, DVDs, CDs, toys and games. It also has the largest selection of wines and spirits and a huge Christmas section with festive food and drinks. There is an instore bakery, butcher and fish department. This Tesco Superstore in Aberdeen is so big it even has a seating area in the middle of the shop with a free water cooler and cups.

Tesco Danestone run a free bus to local areas run by Watermill Coaches.

In September 2006 Tesco Danestone underwent new building improvements and the store was unusually closed for two days. The store is now open and building work to upgrade Tesco to have more selling space is still in progress. When the work finishes Tesco Danestone will have an upper mezzanine level selling non-food items, much like Asda in Garthdee. This has sadly meant that the clock tower and glass atrium has been removed. It does mean that seven more shopping units will be in place when work finishes in the Spring of 2007.
