Second First in Mindanao… Starbucks to open in Abreeza Ayala Mall Davao next year by May 2011.

Starbucks currently said to have 162 coffee shops in Manila, Cebu, Bacolod, and Boracay. This will be the first Starbucks in Mindanao. Though some say, Starbucks is overrated, I guess every coffee lover is still excited and proud to have the first Starbucks in Davao City.

Aside from Starbucks, among the first-in-Davao shops that are said to open at Abreeza Ayala Mall Davao are Café Laguna, Lemon Grass, Bread Talk, Italianni’s and TGIF for food; Promod, Lucerne, XOXO, New York 101, Hot Flops, Store Specialists, Inc., Zara, Aldo, Celio and Pedro for fashion; Robinsons stores and Toys ‘R’ Us. Robinsons Retail Group would spend around P800 million for its separate four-storey building within Abreeza which will include a supermarket.

Now I could hear hubby say I don’t need to travel anymore just to buy a coffee mug or tumbler from Starbucks to add to my collection. It is just a short ride from where we live now if we still live here by  next year. The boys and I could be at the Abreeza Mall in a few minutes. I would love to imagine hanging out there every so often. I would just have to worry about my coffee and shopping allowance that is.

    i wonder when..no tgif, fish and co and italliani’s here either. why?:(
    is it because nobody has taken franchise from them or is the franchise fee ridiculous..?

    i stand for all davaoenos or mindanaoans… starbucks is not a basis of classification for being poor or rich… FYI, mindanao is the richest island of the philippines. review ur philippine geography heathrow… you’re so mata-pobre. kung saang lugar ka man nanggaling sana may ipagmalaki ka aside from being RICH! don’t you see… we davaoenos have to spend money just to go where STARBUCKS is… which means spending money just for COFFEE tapos balik na ng davao… hahaha. who’s poor now?!?
