“The opening of our 3,000 sq metres store in the historical city of Teluk Intan, home to Malaysia’s very own Leaning Tower is a continuation of the value that we have been offering to not only the people of Perak, but Malaysians in general,” he added.

Tesco Mines will be the second 2,000 sq metres superstore after Tesco Wangsa Walk which was launched in October last year.

The Tesco Mines outlet will be a smaller 2,000sq metres superstore with its halal chicken prices remaining flat at RM5.99 per kilo since August 2016.

Tesco also said both outlets will be fully employed by Malaysians.

“Both Tesco Teluk Intan and Tesco Mines are 100 per cent manned by Malaysians, further underlining our commitment in creating employment for Malaysians during a time that many have lost their sources of incomes due to the ongoing pandemic,” said Ritchie.

In March, Britain’s biggest retailer Tesco sold its businesses in Thailand and Malaysia to Thai conglomerate CP Group for £8 billion (RM44.4 billion).
