Lotus's Songkhla is Songkhla city's own branch of Lotus's, one of Thailand's two dominant hypermarket chains (alongside Big C), on Kanchanawanit Road in Khao Rup Chang Subdistrict. The chain traded as Tesco Lotus for over two decades before Charoen Pokphand (CP) Group completed its roughly US$10.6 billion acquisition of Tesco's Thailand and Malaysia operations in 2020, with the nationwide rebrand to Lotus's taking effect in 2021.

Songkhla town itself has no department-store-anchored shopping mall -- Robinson, Central and the other formal malls associated with the province are all in Hat Yai, roughly 30km inland. Lotus's Songkhla is instead the city's primary big-box grocery and general-merchandise stop, following the standard single-storey hypermarket format: a full grocery floor, a fresh-market-style produce section and an in-store food court, rather than a multi-floor mall.
For Songkhla residents who don't want to make the trip to Hat Yai's malls, Lotus's Songkhla is the closest equivalent to organised, one-stop retail within the historic provincial capital itself.
