The group will also open hypermarkets in Kota Baru Kelantan, Shah Alam Selangor, Johar Baru, Bangi, Ipoh Perak, Malacca, Penang and Kuala Terengganu.

Speaking at the inaugural ceremony, Malaysia Prime Minister Najeeb Razak said: "We are very pleased to welcome LuLu brand to Malaysia as this will pave way for more international brands to come and invest in Malaysia.

"I am also hopeful that LuLu will surely open many more hypermarkets and malls not only in Kuala Lumpur, but also in other parts of Malaysia."

Last month, LuLu opened its first hypermarket in the Cakung sub district of East Jakarta, Indonesia. This outlet occupies an area of more than 200,000ft².
