NCCC invades Gen. Santos!
NCCC is now in Gensan!
Considered one of the largest wholesalers of groceries and other goods in Davao and owner of the humongous NCCC Mall of Davao, Durian capital’s flagship trader has just invaded the Tuna Capital and opened its 1,000 square meter Supermarket Wholesale Center outlet on April 14, 2008.
Located along Leon Llido Street in Barangay Lagao, the property is on lease to NCCC by the owners of the former Kimball Plaza. It is NCCC’s eighth supermarket branch, and will focus on servicing wholesalers and distributors in the city and nearby towns of Sarangani Province. The NCCC Supermarket Wholesale Center will “bridge medium to small-scale distributors, and sari-sari store retailers that service their community’s daily household needs”, according to their press release.
Helen A. Lim (left), Chairman of the Board, NCCC Group of Companies is assisted by City Administrator Teody Dumagan (right) in opening the eight NCCC Supermarket outlet in General Santos City on April 14, 2008.
Right now, General Santos City is serviced by the big supermarkets of KCC Mall of Gensan (with its 82 checkout counters), Gaisano Mall of Gensan (now undergoing expansion) and the smaller FitMart Mall in downtown Dadiangas. NCCC’s entry has only tempered rumors that the Teng Family is resurrecting their Kimball Plaza which used to lord them all in the 90s via a partnership with the newcomer from Davao.
Now with NCCC in Gensan apparently to test the waters before SHOEMART and ROBINSONS’ begin construction of their own outlets, it will surely be one hell of a fight among giants which shall of course redound to the benefit of the people of SOCSKSARGEN.
And so, very soon the “generals” would not have to take the 3-hour trip to the Durian capital to shop and worry about accommodations in Davao
because all the big players will already be in their beloved city by the bay.
