Tesco Tanjung Pinang, Penang

Tesco Tanjung Pinang 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 Seri Tanjung Pinang. It is built on reclaimed land that is now a new development called Seri Tanjung Pinang.

Tesco Tanjung Pinang is the third Tesco hypermarket on Penang Island after Tesco 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.

Tesco 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.
