Wow, it’s great if it is really starbucks opening here soon but i think it’s not already that big issue…I have an article about kipling at my blog: http://www.gigsilonggo.co.cc/2009/04/kipling-opened-in-iloilo.html
Timberland and Gibi also opened recently in Amigo Plaza…
i cant wait to go home again.
based sa experience ko sm city is something we can be proud of especially sa mga foreigners who are posted sa aton city it will make their lives comfortable and easy to get what they want especially when you are new to the place.
David’s Tea House is currently under renovation again.
Cafe Laguna and People Are People are both under construction already.
anyway, i think SKIN FOOD has backed out…..the paper signages have been taken and the place is blank na….
Awww really? Excited na ko tani ma open ang skin food, grr…
or basi gna construct na thats why gn kakas na ang name..but Idk..LOL..basta pag agi ko daw wala na…
Dulcinea was bought by the Sarabias thus the opening here in Iloilo… and as per rumor Rustan’s is thinking twice with the opening of Starbucks outside SM City since sales in Bacolod are not as per expectations…but i wish Skinfood will open, i love their products. =)
Other wishlists: powerbooks, tgif, dencio’s, krispy kreme, calea,
“and as per rumor Rustan’s is thinking twice with the opening of Starbucks outside SM City since sales in Bacolod are not as per expectations”
-how did you know these?tsk tsk…darn!thats not so good news.
I now know the story behind Skin Food in SM. The Korean businessman that was supposed to open the store is my Tita’s student in San Ag. She said he backed out because SM gave him only limited space and he was planning for a much more bigger store. I think he is still scouting for locations again.
HI. I think we ilonggos really go for what we call “value for our money”. We are not that “bagit”. Those who can afford are willing to pay a much more expensive brand as long as it satisfies their expectations. When Kenny Rogers opened in Iloilo City, who would have thought it would last long in the business? Considering that its a foreign owned company. And it has a higher price compared to other restaurants. But look at the store especially during lunch and dinner time, you have to wait in line for quite a while. Sbarro, ma pila ka man at some times. True that in Iloilo, you can have expensive restaurants as long as you satisfy the customers expectations. Indi lang pag intu-a and ilonggo kay madulaan ka gd negosyo.
Just would like to ask anyone – What’s the status of the old airport lot which Megaworld bought? Judging from what has transpired in Metro Manila, Megaworld is quite an industry leader in creating massive income-generating lifestyle and IT business centers as attested by Eastwood City. Also, when will the Ayalas consider investing in Iloilo? I mean, the city has a substantial share of middle to high-end consumers just like Cebu and there is plenty of prime land in the city and suburbs of Pavia and Sta. Barbara.
No movement on the Megaworld property yet. Although I have seen a small part of the property enclosed in a gate with a semi tall tower.
The Ayalas is not interested in Iloilo at all. They didn’t even send any representative during the bidding for the old airport lot.
adidas is also going to open in SM City
i’m not quite familiar with this brand but SILVER AND U is also opening soon in the lower ground floor
