Tesco Malaysia has opened its 60th store. The more-than 2000sqft store at Wangsa Walk is the retailer’s largest in the country, with recent changes in regulations reducing costs for an operation of this size and opening the path for similar formats going forward.

“In providing a 2000sqft superstore with a targeted range of our famous value for money pricing, we are providing convenience and value for money to the customers in this area who were not able to enjoy all these before,” said Tesco Malaysia CEO Paul Ritchie as reported in the New Straits Times.

“Going forward, we plan to keep expanding in Malaysia within this format as it believes that there is still a lot of growth opportunities in this country.”

Tesco Malaysia has been operating for 17 years.
