Tesco has announced that six of its store cafés are being taken over by Netflix anime smash Kpop Demon Hunters, according to the Retail Gazette.

‘We wanted to have some fun in our Cafés before the summer finishes and children go back to school,’ says James Pavey, director of hospitality at Tesco: ‘Kids love KPop Demon Hunters which makes it the perfect theme for a takeover, and because we’re running ”Kids Eat Free”, popping in for a bite and a selfie won’t cost the earth.’
