Hardware problems are now over for Alabang residents.

Federal Hardware, the fastest growing one-stop American-style hardware store, recently held the grand opening of its Alabang branch at the second level Town Plaza of the Alabang Town Center.

Guests of honor Joey Cuisia, Rosemarie Prieto and Missy and Jim Ayala led the ribbon-cutting ceremony at the store’s mall entrance. While other guests of honor Rep. Edmond Reyes, Javier Hernandez and Kathy and Basil Ong cut the ribbon at the store’s Commerce Avenue entrance, where Federal Hardware custom built a staircase so that customers can access the store directly from the street. Alabang residents and top executives attended the exclusive event. Among those seen were happy couple Yoli and Serge Ayson; hardworking Bellevue GM Cyndy Tan-Jarabata; Mila Lacson; Joanne Matschuck; Belle Ongpin; Tina Fiedler; and Marieandy Fricke. Your columnist served as the master of ceremonies.

The numerous guests were visibly impressed with the extensive selection of hardware available at the store. Several of them couldn’t resist; they immediately bought some premium items at the event itself! All were in high spirits as they socialized with each other, sampled the delicious hors d’ oeuvres at the bountiful buffet table, and shopped to their heart’s content.

The store is the extension of Federal Hardware’s commitment to provide Alabang shoppers with a one-stop, hassle-free home building and finishing center with unequaled service in the midst of a comfortable shopping environment. It boasts a wide assortment of do-it-yourself products, wood, hardware, hand and power tools, paints, lawn and garden accessories, electrical items, kitchenware, easy concrete, lights and car care products; and also an extensive collection of local and imported tile products such as Eurotiles and Stylnul.

See you in Federal Hardware Alabang!
