Lotus's Tanjung Pinang (GPS: 5.4588, 100.30867) is a new hypermarket in Tanjong Tokong, on the northeastern part of Penang Island. Described with a working name of Tesco Tanjong Tokong, the new hypermarket is located at the junction of Jalan Tanjong Tokong and Jalan Tanjung Pinang. It is built on reclaimed land that is now a new development called Tanjung Pinang.
Lotus's Tanjung Pinang is the third Tesco hypermarket on Penang Island after Lotus's Penang and Tesco Extra Sungai Dua. It is also the fifth Tesco hypermarket in Penang State, including the ones at Seberang Jaya and Bukit Mertajam. This will be the first hypermarket on the northern part of Penang Island, and I am sure many people living in the area are eagerly awaiting its arrival.
Lotus's Tanjung Pinang is expected to provide an immediate challenge to nearby supermarkets such as Cold Storage at Island Plaza and Gurney Plaza. It may also impact Straits Quay, either positively or negatively. The positive aspect is that people visiting one will also visit the other, hence the spillover effect. One the other hand, there may be those who head for Tesco and bypass the coastal mall all together. It all depends on the type of customer and their needs.

About this website
Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
