There are local restaurants / a medium-sized market on the first basement floor. People are enjoying Osmena Puente in December because of the Christmas atmosphere.
It's not the cheapest supermarket. It's average price but they do have some good sales and a fantastic selection of imported food. Staff are very nice as well.
Hässliche Einkaufshölle wie man sie sonst nur aus den USA kennt. Schlecht für die Umwelt, sozial zu verabscheuen und optisch ebenfalls eine Katastrophe! Nie wieder!
Still a cool place to hang out. I mean not much to stroll like sm but.... The place has many parking space and they still have food stall to dine in, plus it not that overcrowded so if you like a little bit of a quiet place, maybe kinda discreet for some people you don't hope to bump into well just visit this place. Best place to park your vehicle. FREE.
Used to be the place to go by most of Bicolandias which was usually crowded prior to Ayala Malls and SM Legazpi. Although it is now less crowded, it is still the best place to go. The prices in terms of clothing and underwear are still cheaper as well as grocery items at the supermarket. I would recommend this to those who prefer shopping and supermarket in a less crowd. ☺️👍
I love it here coz this is where I work😇
My to go place when I need to buy something. The place is not so crowded unlike the other stores out there.
The pin may not be in the correct place but inside Gaisano Savers Mart is a Gaisano Department Store. It currently is listed as temporarily closed, but it is open. There isn't a large selection there but you can find some clothing, shoes, few toys and household items.
Nice to visit ☺️ but there's no McDonald's 😂 kinda disappointing
One of my favorite supermarkets. Good prices and short lines, but often hard to find the price or the price is labeled wrong and they don't honor the wrong price.
best shopping experience especially during covid-19 crisis. not crowded, they updated their stocks and add more products. not too expensive. the staff are kind and helpful
an underrated shopping mall that has a lot to offer. their price are masa-friendly. It's not a crowded place perfect for the situation that we are in right now.
and it has also a perfect view where you can see the sunrise and the sunset.
Quality RTW and affordable home decors in the oldest street of the Philippines which is Colon Street in Cebu City
The basics are there but after a few visits, you tend to get bored and seek for more. I suggest some revamping to keep customers engaged.
Convenient , secure and clean place for shopping
Cool ambiance! Still a safe place to shop your groceries and personal needs. With the price is affordable in your pocket. A minimal restaurants to choose on but its still fine. You can eat and enjoy as well. This mall is still growing and improving more which is a good news for us all! 😊
Love it its complete everything that you need they have it 😊😊
I always love the kids stuff in the SM Store
Friendly staff, nice location with parking...
Love their stretchable jeans as they're so comfy. Their summer shirt collection is also recommended. They have a wide array of pastel colored tops that you'll surely love.
