Always evolving, Robinsons Manila welcomes new concept shops and restaurants
A quarter of a century is a milestone whichever way you look at it-and in a fickle business like retail, it certainly calls for a celebration. Robinsons Manila marked its 25th anniversary last year servicing its customers and tenant partners in particular and the city’s community in general. The biggest mall in the country’s capital has remained a constant in the lives of many people who live and work in the area but it also draws those from nearby cities who want to shop and dine in unmatched comfort.
Manilenos head to Robinsons Manila to stock up on essentials like groceries and clothing but is also top of mind when they want to treat themselves to a wealth of food options and entertainment for the whole family. It houses exciting amusement options including Robinsons Movieworld, Timezone, Tom’s World and Paeng’s Midtown Bowl and Billiard room. It has over 1,000 local and foreign shops, dining outlets, entertainment facilities and service centers and it continues to evolve along with its customers by bringing in new retail concepts to surprise and delight.
Robinsons Manila recently welcomed the Philippines’ first outlet of No.1 Malatang at Level 1 of Padre Faura wing. The hotpot franchise from Australia is known for its Szechuan-style shabu-shabu experience where no bowl is exactly alike. Malatang or “spicy numbing soup” is touted as Australia’s favorite comfort food. At the restaurant, customers can choose from over a hundred ingredients, 10 types of noodles and eight soup broth options allowing them to customize their bowls based on their preferences.
Sporty types will jog or walk briskly to the new Decathlon Ermita Connect Concept Store located at the Center Atrium, the first of its kind in the country. Unlike other Decathlon branches where one can get lost because of their sheer size, the one at Robinsons Manila is a more straightforward version designed to be a one-stop shop for enthusiasts who need a new pair of running shoes or students who require a pair of track shorts or sweat-wicking top for their PE class.
That’s not all the mall has lined up for the over 1.5 million Manilenos who call the city their home. There’s Sumo Niku that offers unlimited Japanese barbecue, Chapes Keto Cakes for guilt-free treats, Japabites that sells flavorful and affordable snacks and Art68 Coffee Corner which carries a wide variety of coffee beans and ground coffee.
On the shopping side, Clube Melissa carries a range of comfortable and sustainably made footwear while Spanish heritage brand Toni Pons sells handmade espadrilles for those who want to sport that perpetual summer look. The musically inclined can head to Wagas Crafts that sells handmade ukuleles to give or to keep. There’s also Perfume Dessert that carries premium scents that are almost good enough to eat and Life for Cuts, the famous self-photo booth chain from Korea.
In the coming weeks, Robinsons Manila will welcome other new dining and retail concepts like Tah-Mee, a brand that sells drinking and frozen yogurt. Fans of all things Korean are sure to gravitate to Korea’s famous coffee chain founded by celebrity chef Paik Jong-Won, Paik’s Coffee and Bakery once it opens.
Robinsons Manila has so much going for it. Its enviable location in the heart of the historic city ensures it will continue to be a base, a meeting point or a home for Manilenos for a long time to come. Truly, Robinsons Manila is our favorite place.
