Tesco renamed as Lotus’s after 2020 acquisition by CP Group

Tesco made the official announcement yesterday of renaming its stores as Lotuss Stores or Lotus’s Malaysia after customers noticed signs and notices of rebranding throughout its stores. According to the company’s Facebook page, the full rebranding exercise will be completed by the end of 2021.
