Watch out for koalas. They're not as cute and cuddly as you might initially think...

And I imagine that during the planning process for the initial store there is no mention of any potential future plans for a mezzanine, with them hoping after a few years that everyone will love them and there will be no objections to the plan.

This Tesco in Aston is similar in design to a Tesco's Fresh and Easy store near Los Angeles.

EDIT: Well not really but I think they may have borrowed the roof idea.
EDIT: The more I look at it the more I see how wrong I originally was.
