WHERE DID ALL THE TOMATOES GO HERE IN THE PHILIPPINES?

| author: fan



The Philippines has suffered a terrible weather problem with almost continous rain or cloudiness for the past few weeks.  But what I can't understand is why the buyers for SM, Robinsons, Ayala, Metro grocery stores can't find alternative suppliers for a temporary solution rather than having store shelves empty of red tomatoes.  In USA the buyers find supplies all over the world to make sure they meet customer needs.   What is the problem here?
-
If there is no stock in country then Taiwan, Australia, Thailand, New Zealand or even South Africa or Mexico or South America must have supplies that can be flown in to meet the lack here of so many different vegetables.  If there is a source here in country it is not meeting the need for any I repeat ANY supermarket here in Cebu.
-
I assume Manila stores are suffering similiar lack of supplies.  The government should step in and relax the standards until the supplies return to normal and the buyers should use sources like I easily found by searching Australian tomatoes.  The customers want tomatoes and other vegetables and I assume the buyers could find alternative sources until this crisis is resolved as we get all kinds of other offshore dry goods, why not tomatoes and other vegetables?

A model for SM, Ayala, Metro, Robinsons to design the website and open new franchise Aldais

I oftenA model for SM, Ayala, Metro, Robinsons to design the website and open new franchise Aldais

 wonder why the stores here like Ayala, SM, Metro and Robinsons and lots of their tenants don't use the web more with most affluent shoppers here in the Philippines now having an active online surfing with places like facebook and even TV getting online.  Setting up a website or blog is so cheap and easy to change or update if someone in authority made sure it happened.  And customers would apprciate the ability to see complete lines of merchandise or specials for the week.  One store in the USA and many parts of the world is Aldai and I wonder why they have not surfaced yet here in the Philippines as they would be excellent for small store locations with only limited items but quality at a low price. 

SM does not even have a active functioning website to assist its many customers in the stores it has in its many malls and the contact information or maps online where their malls are or the contact even for their management at their many malls.  That is really strange seeing they are opening the Cyber Zones which is internet based.  Strange for the largest mall leader in the Philippines.  They should take a look at Metro's nice site and also Aldai's http://www.metrogaisano.com/
http://www.aldi.us/us/html/sitemap_ENU_HTML.htm

The major malls and department stores should seek  better to use the internet web sites and blogs to make better use of their large purchasing power and get online in a big way and possibly set up a new chain franchise with the Aldai chain.  It is becoming very very popular in the States with low overhead with 2 or 3 employees handling a whole store.  It would seem with people looking for a new viable franchise this would be an excellent service and money maker. 

Regardless, the major department stores here need to examine their online presence as the world changes and customers demand new and cheaper ways to market such as Aldai does so well with emails to customers weekly, sales online, and a good layout that the stores here could follow.  Even SM doesn't evan contact information anymore for each store online and their addresses and maps.  I think it is a major oversite that SM, Ayala, Robinsons, Metro need to address rapidly.  Read more how Aldai does it below.  Lets have all the malls online with the same information here in the Philippines......

the ALDI way: incredible value every day.
The ALDI way of shopping has been continuously honed and refined since our first store opened in Southeastern Iowa in 1976. Committed to bringing food to customers at the lowest prices possible, our early stores set up shop in small spaces and introduced shoppers to the select-assortment concept, carrying only 500 select brand products. Compared with other supermarkets, our stores seemed tiny. But ALDI found a niche with Americans hungry for real value, and the chain grew rapidly.
Over time, more products were added, including more refrigerated and frozen foods. ALDI also began experimenting with Special Buy items, to great success. More recently, Sunday hours were instituted, and ALDI began accepting debit cards.
Today, there are over 1,000 ALDI stores in 29 states, from Kansas to the East Coast. And today’s ALDI store carries about 1,400 regularly-stocked items, including fresh meat, and, in certain locations, beer and wine. Though the original ALDI concept has been modified somewhat to accommodate our ever-changing tastes and preferences, the core concept remains: “Incredible Value Every Day.”

The Metro Stores

Metro Colon

Metro Colon

Metro Colon, the first Metro store, started as a three-level store building in Colon Street in the heart of downtown Cebu City. Despite being located in the toughest retail arena in the Cebu province, if not in the entire nation, the Metro developed a huge following among the Cebuano consumers and was upgraded into a seven-level department store and supermarket after only two years in operation. The Metro Colon store has continuously been upgraded over the years to increase the size of its selling areas, maintain customer comforts and amenities, and to enhance its fresh and friendly atmosphere. At present, the store continues and remains to be the preferred shopping destination in downtown Cebu.

Super Metro Mandaue

Super Metro Mandaue

Metro Gaisano opened its second store in 1994 in Mandaue City, a City adjacent to Cebu City and is considered to be the industrial capital in the province of Cebu. The Super Metro Mandaue was built in the concept of a supercenter but with two added levels of department store spaces. The store’s spacious and spartan look enhances its feel of a store with a wide selection of quality goods sold at reasonable prices. The Super Metro is now the store of choice for shoppers in the Mandaue City and in the neighboring Municipalities in the North of Cebu.

Metro Ayala Center Cebu

Metro Ayala Center

When the Ayalas of the famous shopping center in Makati City decided to develop the first planned commercial business district in Cebu City, they chose Metro Gasiano as its partner to operate the anchor department store and supermarket of its Ayala Center Cebu Mall. Rising to the challenge to team up with an established and reputable Manila-based mall operator, Metro Gaisano built its third store in 1994.
The store now known as “Metro Ayala Center” is Metro Gisano’s biggest and best designed store, having commissioned a design team from North America to conceptualize the project. The Metro Ayala Center is a store, designed to cater to the discriminating taste of a growing upscale market in Cebu City that demands comfort and service but maintaining the quality and the competitive prices that is a trademark of a Metro Gaisano store. Metro Ayala Department store and Supermarket enjoyed favorable growth in patronage year on year and is now frequented by many tourists who find great value in shopping at the store.

Metro Legazpi

Metro Legazpi

In 2001, The Metro Gaisano made a strategic decision to bring its brand and type of department store and supermarket out of Cebu. Legazpi City was chosen because of its ideal location south of Luzon and its accessibility to the population of the Bicol region comprising of the five provinces.
Metro Gaisano teamed up with Landco Inc., who put up the first planned commercial business district in the city and the first full-sized shopping mall, the Pacific Mall Legazpi. The Metro Legazpi is now the premiere department store and supermarket destination in the city with its large multi-level store, cool shopping atmosphere, colorful visuals, quality goods, reasonable prices and ample parking spaces.

Metro Lucena

Metro Lucena

The same partnership that brought the Pacific Mall and the Metro store in Legazpi City, Metro Gaisano and Lanco Inc. teamed up again to bring the same concept to a growing city south of Metro Manila, Lucena City. In 2003, Metro Lucena was built to be the anchor department store and supermarket of Pacific Mall Lucena.
The Metro Lucena is a big, multi-level and colorful store that brings to the people of Lucena and its neighboring localities the same price, value, comfort, quality and convenience to its customers.

Metro Market!Market!

Metro Market! Market!

When the Ayala’s started the development of its newest shopping center concept at the Fort Bonifacio, the business district that was billed and touted to become the next Makati City in the country, they integrated the concept of hawker’s haven into a mall to give shoppers value for their money and an outdoor wet market to make it a catch-all destination for everybody. Now the newest and most visited mall in Metro Manila, Market! Market! is the home of the sixth and most ambitious store of Metro Gaisano. Known as Metro Market! Market!, the store is the anchor department store and supermarket of the mall and is the biggest so far in the Metro Gaisano chain of stores.
The store is envisioned to become a shopping and leisure destination in Metro Manila due to its superior atmosphere, comforts, quality merchandise and price value.

Metro Gaisano Department Stores, Vicsal Development Corporation, Metro Supermarkets

| author: fan

The Metro Gaisano Department Store and Supermarket (more popularly known as “The Metro”) was incorporated in 1981 and opened its first department store and supermarket in 1982. The store was founded by the late Sir Victor Gaisano, with the help of his wife, Mrs. Sally Gaisano, and four children — Margaret, Jack, Edward and Frank — who envisioned a department store and supermarket that will offer quality and a variety of merchandise in a friendly atmosphere and at prices that are highly competitive and reasonable. The Metro’s business operations was shaped and influenced by the combined experiences of the Gaisano Family in the retail industry.

In retail operations, Metro Gaisano now operates seven department stores with supermarkets namely: Metro Colon, Super Metro Mandaue, Metro Ayala Center, Metro Legazpi, Metro Lucena, Metro Market! Market! and Metro Food & Fashion @ Marquee Mall. The Metro Gaisano chain of stores has increasingly built an image of quality and value for price in terms of the merchandise it sells. It has an aggressive advertising and promotion strategy which calls for constant visibility in print, radio and television throughout the years. It enjoys the patronage of all types of customers and is the leading retail store in the cities of Cebu, Mandaue, Legazpi, Lucena & Metro Manila.

Vision

To become a world-class retail store and enjoy the process of attaining it
