BANGKOK -- Thai conglomerate Charoen Pokphand Group announced on Tuesday it is changing the name of its Tesco stores in Thailand and Malaysia to Lotus's.

CP took over the stores from British retailer Tesco last year. With the change, the Tesco brand, which expanded into Southeast Asia in the 1990s, will disappear from the region.
