Landers Superstore To Open Pasig and Alabang Branch

Inspired by the increase in spending power of Filipinos and the year on year growth in retail, Landers Superstore, the country’s fastest growing membership shopping establishment, recently announced its plans to expand to the southern and eastern part of Metro Manila.

Landers Superstore Pasig

Backed by thorough research and the success of the first two superstores, Landers Superstore is poised to take advantage of the rapid developments in Pasig and Muntinlupa Cities.

Two Landers Superstore outlets will be opened in these areas, as confirmed by Atty. Lowell Yu, chairman of Southeast Asia Retail Inc., which recently formalized an agreement with Megaworld Corporation, the developer behind ArcoVia City along C5 in Pasig and Alabang West in Muntinlupa City. The expansion, he explained, will provide residents from these two townships and from neighboring areas with an exclusive one-stop shop where they can find a complete array of their everyday lifestyle needs.

“The retail industry has been growing exponentially, propelled by the steady increase in the spending power of Filipinos specifically towards household consumption expenditures. These factors, plus the strategic locations where we are setting up, made us decide to expand our investment in this category,” added Yu. In the second quarter of 2016, the company launched the first Landers Superstore in Balintawak, Quezon City, followed by another three-hectare store in Paco, Manila.

Given the overwhelming response from the first two Landers Superstores, Yu is optimistic that the new superstores will have a positive reception. “It’s all about giving our members better value for their money.  As members, they have access to products and brands that are not available elsewhere in a setting that lets them shop minus the stress, the long lines, and tight grocery area. Many of our members bring the entire family to our store because the spacious layout makes shopping really convenient and enjoyable. This way, we also promote family bonding.”

With an average of 10,000 square meter vast space per outlet, Landers Superstore takes pride in having well-lit and spacious aisles packed with an assortment of goods, including a wide range of imported products coming from as far as the US, Canada, and Australia and high-quality local and exclusive brands.

From food and other grocery items to  furniture, appliances, and even hardware products,  Landers Superstore houses a range of treasure finds including Badia Spices, Mercer’s Wine Ice Cream, Double Rainbow—which is the best Gourmet Ice cream in San Francisco—Luvo (easy-to-cook health food), Every Man Jack, and President’s Choice products, to mention a few.

Landers Superstore is also the first membership superstore in the Philippines to have a cozy coffee shop, Doppio; a comfortable diner, Landers Central; and a delectable bakery, Dough & Co. The superstore also provides a lavish dining area where members can enjoy a delicious New York Pizza, chicken, hotdogs, bagels, fancy cakes, and pastries while taking a break from shopping.

Waiting husbands and kids can also get their own pampering in Landers’ very own barbershop (Talas Manileño in Landers Balintawak and Federal Barbers in Landers Otis). Plus, exclusively for members, Landers Superstore also offers year-long gasoline discounts from its very own gasoline station, Caltex.

Not All Glasses Are Created Equal

When you visit the eye doctor to get prescription glasses, you spend some time choosing the frame that suits your face shape and personal style. But do you also take time to choose the type of lens appropriate for your eye problem and lifestyle?

“Wearing just any kind of glasses is not enough. It is important to choose the right lens to get the best protection,” explains Emelita Roleda, general manager of Essilor Philippines, the world’s leading ophthalmic optics company.

Dr. Roleda explains that there are two types of lenses: uncoated and multi-coated lenses. “Uncoated lenses are prone to damage and don’t provide protection against elements that threaten healthy vision. Using multi-coated lenses enhance the performance, quality and life of glasses. Invest on high quality lenses as it will really pays off in the long run, in terms of benefits to one’s eyesight.”

Meanwhile, multi-coated lenses are more advanced and tightly controlled due to computer processes. These lenses are evenly layered, can withstand high temperature and offer more improved performance.

Essilor’s Crizal® Prevencia is a multi-coated lens made with smart technology that filters out harmful blue-violet and UV lights emitted by the sun, gadgets, LED TVs, LED lights and fluorescent lights. On top of preventing long-term vision damage, it allows good light that helps regulate sleep and mood, and boosts brain activity.

“Do consult your eye doctor because they can recommend the best lenses suitable to your needs and lifestyle,” Dr. Roleda adds.

Hiring a Reputable Plumber

There may come a time in the future when you encounter a plumbing problem in your home that you are not able to fix on your own. If this is the case, it is essential that you contact an experienced plumber who knows what he is doing. This will help to ensure that your problem is fixed correctly the first time. However, finding a good plumber is not quite as easy as many people think it is. There are certainly many plumbers to choose from. However, many of these people lack the necessary skill to do a good job for you. Here are the steps you will need to take in order to hire a plumber who will not let you down.

1. Does the plumber have a valid license to work in your state?

You would probably be surprised by the large number of unlicensed plumbers working in the United States. Many people make the mistake of simply assuming that the plumber they hire has a license. Therefore, they never ask to see it before the work begins. Other people knowingly hire unlicensed plumbers because they will charge much less than a plumber who has a license. However, you usually get what you pay for in the world of plumbing. The work of unlicensed plumbers is often substandard and need to be repaired.

2. Does the plumber have a good rating with the Better Business Bureau?

It is always a good idea to head over to the BBB site and check out the rating of any plumber that you have not dealt with before. This will allow you to find out exactly who you will be hiring so there will be no surprises. Do not hire a plumber with a low rating. This is just asking for trouble.

3. How much experience does the plumber have?

You need to be absolutely certain that the guy you call for emergency plumbing Norfolk VA knows what he is doing. Otherwise, you could have a big problem on your hands. Avoid hiring a plumber with less than five years of experience. Plumbers who are new to the job will often try to attract new customers by offering great deals and low prices on their services. However, you would be better off paying a bit more to receive the skill that only an experienced plumber can give to you.
