thebob 18,260 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Soon to rise. They are digging the footings now. It's quite a big project and it will provide lots of non tourist jobs for the area. It is an exciting development for Moalboal. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
the boss 214 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 A new one? I thought the old bird had died and those things were fading away? The only ones I been in lately are that thing in downtown Cebu and the rat trap in Iloilo. In the mid 90's use to spend a lot of time in the one in Iloilo, had a bowling alley. Last time there, well disappointing. Have to say been a fan of the new SM going up every where. Was just in Moalboal in Feb of this year. Didn't know it was big enough for a Giasano?

HeyMike 11,034 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Good to hear about the project. I hope they will build a parking lot. No paking lot is the reason I do not go to the one in Dumanjug Link to post Share on other sites
thebob 18,260 Posted August 30, 2013 Author Share Posted August 30, 2013 It's just down the street from Petron, opposite Dr Iris so there is plenty of street parking. I'm sure it will also have another ATM which will be an extra welcome addition. The poster calls it Gaisano Grand Moalboal, and the picture makes it look quite large. Talk is that it will open by Christmas! Link to post Share on other sites
samatm 2,994 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Gaisanos have been sprouting up everywhere: on Mactan and Cordova there are 3 newly opened stores. One in basak is a mini mall with a grocery store and it is only a stones throw from the Gaisano Grand mall. Also newly opened Gaisano Cordova and a Gaisano Lapu Lapu. Glad to hear Moaboal is getting a decent shopping center. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Davezilla 24 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Guess it time to look at Moalboal again last time I considered the move there it had no internet or ATM or shopping Link to post Share on other sites

hyaku 2,805 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 They are building one here too. A friends wife is the manageress of Riverside Gaisano Ormoc and will take over here. Started June they say completion this coming Christmas. Only two locals employed. They have their own crew that go around building gaisano's. He did give me all the figures. What they pay for land, how much to build etc. He even gave me new Robinson figures. Already slipped my mind but I can ask again if anyone's interested. Bit of trouble as they used an agent to buy the land. Had the owner known she would have upped the price. Went to attorneys and a price was finally agreed on. Link to post Share on other sites
udonthani 2,027 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 the old, little one in Balamban that was usurped by the larger Gaisano that opened in late 2010, had the sign GAISANO SARI SARI. I'm not a camera person but if I was I would have taken a picture of it because I don't think you will be seeing too many of those signs again. Link to post Share on other sites

Bill H 6,575 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Wahooo great news and long over due too! They seem to be following the Wal-Mart model that made Wally a Billionaire. Build in outlying towns and capture those markets which are in fact fairly large when the surrounding areas are included. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
roadhaze 170 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I just noticed it in the past week. It will probably like Dumunjug and still have to go to CarCar for certain things. Try not to hit Dumunjug on weekends and no parking problem. Link to post Share on other sites
lexus 26 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Gaisano coming to Moalboal already long time but always stopped in municipality. Mayor said want to protect small business. Obviously now temptation, amount of it, too big ;-) Moalboal getting too busy, time to move on... Link to post Share on other sites
