Beat the recession and become a retail champion
MANILA, Philippines - Robinsons Malls remains steadfast in finding ways to help both entrepreneurs and consumers shape up with the current economic downturn while addressing their different needs and aspirations. They do this by revolutionizing new formats and creating a strategically planned shopping environment for different markets, whether it’s luxury, casual or bargain shopping.
Since its inception in 2003 as the first full-service shopping mall in Sta. Rosa, Laguna, Robinsons Place Sta. Rosa has been known as a haven for fashionistas and bargain hunters in the south. Located along Old National Highway, the mall has created a big buzz for its local and imported selection of items that ranges from apparel, shoes, house wares, toys, appliances and many more. After its transformation into Robinsons Sta. Rosa Market in 2008, it reestablished itself as the top choice for wholesale retailers who are bent on starting up small-scale businesses and for locals and transients on the lookout for a completely different shopping destination. The spirit behind the concept of Robinsons Sta. Rosa Market is way beyond bargain shopping. It creates different opportunities for different people, therefore giving a valuable contribution to the commercial landscape and to the Filipino consumer’s quality of life. Whether it’s delivering ultimate customer experience or offering lasting commercial spaces for entrepreneurs, this promising destination definitely has it covered.
Go For Local Entreprenuers
Like any other Robinsons Mall, Robinsons Sta. Rosa Market offers affordable yet premium lease spaces to local entrepreneurs where they can showcase their diverse lines of products. The majority of the brands and stores you can find here is the brainchild of Filipino entrepreneurs who make sure that everything they sell suits the spectrum of taste and preference. But what is exciting is that it also incorporates big and small players in one interactive retail environment. Among the big-time retail and food giants here are Plains & Prints outlet store, Jollibee, Pizza Hut, Pan de Manila and more. They are joined and complemented by other small and mid-size businesses offering their own line of unique products and merchandise. Pink Chiz for instance, is a fashion boutique owned by a very young and inspiring entrepreneur, 27-year-old Analiza Pabuayon. A store employee-turned-businesswoman, her items, both local and sourced outside, are a top hit among women looking for colorful, fresh and chic apparel. Other proud players taking center stage here are entrepreneur brothers Jaime and Jerico Almalvez, who own two retail boutiques, Jal’s and Riss. Before opening their own boutique, they used to supply footwear to other local retailers. Today, both stores offer their very own locally manufactured products such as trendy footwear, printed statement T-shirts and other apparel.
Buy Big, Earn Big
Since most of the outlets here offer five to 35-percent discounts on bulk or wholesale purchases, one has a chance to earn extra. “Make sure that you hunt down a wide variety of products that are completely unique and are ideal to sell to anyone,” suggests Dollie Bufi, group property manager for Robinsons Sta. Rosa. Bufi adds that there are endless stores that business-minded individuals can check for bulk purchases such as Gear Up, Meca, Chill and 40 other wholesale /retail stores.
