Ever been to Davao City's Gaisano Mall lately? Just been there when my mom invited us to join her to check out the place. It is one of the pioneering malls in our city and due to the rising competition, it's about time to find a good gimmick to attract the public to continue visiting them.
The newly renovated top floor is quite an attraction especially at night time. My family enjoyed roaming around the place, with their landscapes composed of plants, pools and lights... and the open area gave us a 360 degrees perfect view of the city. Also, there's a couple of restaurant around the place and just near the food court, so we had no problem finding a place to eat. We definitely enjoyed the added treat.
Though I'm the type who loves to try new places, it's still nice to go somewhere you're familiar with, brings back memories I guess. I remember back then, when we speak of the city's center of business or the downtown area, it was still along Bolton and the nearby streets. After going to mass in San Pedro church, we usually ate merienda and roamed around the nearby pioneering superstores namely Gaisano, Felcris, Datu Complex and NCCC (in Uyanguren, just a few kilometers away). But that was long ago (LOL), when the cinemas had still a location of their own, apart from the malls.
Oh well, as we all know, the only thing constant in this world is change. With the recently opened Abreeza (Ayala Mall) and the continuing expansions of SM, all malls must stay competitive, as to goods' prices, ambiance, accessibility, proximity and attractions that would likely affect customers preference over others. Yahweh bless.
I will definitely go there one day. Thanks for posting this article. I've heard more about GMalls Top Overhaul. Grabe na ang competition sa mga Malls ng Davao. Blooming Davao!
ReplyDeleteOh, I thought G-mall is a new mall. Good job to Gaisano! :)
ReplyDeletehahaha ayusa oi...
ReplyDeletehindi pa ako nakarating ng Davao.. hope to visit it soon! heard a lot about it and can't wait to explore Davao! yeah kaliwa't kanan na malls now dapat talaga may strategy sila to stay on top or else they won't be able to compete..
ReplyDeleteWow! Ganda ah! Hope I can visit there sometime this year. Good thing that there is a mall like that in Davao.
ReplyDeletecool..gusto pumunta jan minsan..hehe
ReplyDeleteWill visit when I got the chance to be in Davao. Mukhang Trinoma inspired. So beatiful.
ReplyDeletei've been in davao, pero di ko alam na may ganito kagandang view sa gabi..
ReplyDeleteNever been to Davao yet but I'd love to go there someday :)
ReplyDeleteHa? mao na nang Top floor sa Gmall? Nice D ko pa nakita yan bago na pala..
ReplyDeletenever been to Davao yet! pero nasa list ko na sya sa travel-some-day plans ko!!! "all malls must stay competitive, as to goods' prices, ambiance, accessibility, proximity and attractions that would likely affect customers preference over others." - great encapsulation :)
ReplyDeletewe are not anymore behind with the beauty and elegance of our shopping malls here in the Philippines
ReplyDeletethe place look's familiar! hahahaha... sabi ko na nga ba? are you also a dabawenyo? been there many times kasi binabalik balikan ko si don beppe. hahahaha
ReplyDeleteWow! ang ganda ganda naman dyan :) sana makapunta din ako dito ^+^
ReplyDeletethe only minor problem is their elevator does not have shelter to cover it when it rains..
ReplyDeleteIts always good to be home ika nga nila. I like Gaisano in Cebu naman.
ReplyDeleteWow! Love how this mall looks ah :D Will definitely drop by at G-Mall when I visit Davao ;)
ReplyDeleteThis is what we say a healthy competition. Yes SM and Robinson's are popular but for some malls, they really need to undergo a major overhaul to be competitive.
ReplyDeleteThere's really stiff competition as far as mall is concerned. Much money is spent for the construction of this big mall alone, added with its promotion to attract more business ventures to get into with them. Looking at this picture, I couldn't help myself but to appreciate how Davao grows in business. It really blooms!
ReplyDeleteDi pa ako nakakapunta diyan.
ReplyDeleteI have G mall from an acquaintance before. Would love to explore the mall for I just love malling. :P
ReplyDeletethat was beautiful, hindi siya nalalalyu sa mga mall sa metro
ReplyDeletewow so nice. I wish I could visit there someday.
ReplyDeleteNice to see G-malls having a makeover. They should if they want to seriously compete with mall giants like SM, Ayala, and Robinsons.
ReplyDeletenever been to Gaisano Davao (or in Davao itself) but in Gaisano Cebu yep...they really need to be competitive if they want to level the game field...
ReplyDeleteAng ganda naman, sana makarating din ako dyan at ng maipasyal ninyo ako ng misis mo. Ikaw po ba nag retrato nyan? Galeng a!

Ikaw ang nag take ng pictures? Ang ganda! I miss Davao! Pasyal ninyo ako ng wifey mo ha?
ReplyDeleteuy, this is great mall...hopefully, can go Davao and visit this...
ReplyDeletewith or without the enhancement, I will still remain a solid G-Mall goer.
ReplyDeleteGotta check it out though and probably will make my own review soon.
the only gmall i have ever visited was in cebu. Iba pa rin talaga ang may competition . Daming developments and improvements. I will definitely take time to check this . Ill be there in April.
ReplyDeleteis that a real pool there? never been to Davao :) I can tell how much you enjoy going to places like this.. nakakamiss din talaga noong araw - Mommy Pehpot
ReplyDeleteThe place looks amazing. It's something that I'd have to go to when we visit Davao someday.
ReplyDeleteThat's a Gaisano Mall? That looks fab and lavish!
ReplyDeleteI haven't been to Davao, but if we happen to go there, we'll surely check out Gaisano Mall.
ReplyDeleteHow I wish I can visit "our" malls...spacious and so many shops! hihi ours here are like 1/10 lol
