This is the second Robinsons Mall in this region, following Robinsons Place Santiago in Isabela, and the fourth in Northern Luzon.
“We are happy to mark our 50th mall milestone in Tuguegarao. This city is a perfect place to open a mall right now because of its vibrant economy as the central hub in the province of Cagayan,” RLC president Frederick Go said in a statement.

“We look forward to our next 50 malls. We will continue to build in new territories, in underserved markets, and in places where they can be catalysts of economic growth,” he added.

The anchor tenants of the new mall include Robinsons Supermarket, Robinsons Department Store, Handyman, Daiso Japan, Robinsons Appliances and Robinsons Movieworld.
Tuguegarao’s economy has shifted from agriculture to trading, commerce and services.
