Fully Booked opens first Mindanao outlet at KCC Mall of GenSan
General Santos City will soon be definitely known as Book Lover’s Paradise as another large bookstore is landing on her shores.
On the heels of the two NATIONAL BOOKSTORE outlets which opened at Gaisano Mall of GenSan and Robinsons Place GenSan respectively, now comes FULLY BOOKED, which will occupy one of the two 300 square meter frontage vacant spaces facing Jose Catolico Sr. Avenue of KCC Mall of GenSan.
How different is Fully Booked from National Bookstore and why should we get excited about its entry into GenSan?
First, just like a Pet Farm where tourists are allowed to touch, pet and feed animals, the customers of Fully Booked can browse as long as they want through their modish interiors while looking for titles which suit their unique, individual life styles. On hand are well-informed staff who will assist them on their search and make recommendations on the latest bestsellers.
Customers can open and scan books and sit on any of the upholstered couches scattered all throughout the store while being pampered by soothing music and brownout-free refreshing airconditioning.
On one corner could be a Starbucks or Bo’s or BluGre nook, offering their best brews.
All these mean that Fully Booked is a bookstore, library and coffee shop in one and is undoubtedly a lifestyle destination.
"THIS IS THE FULLY BOOKED OUTLET IN AYALA CENTER, CEBU CITY."
Here’s more from their website:
Fully Booked is home to the widest and most diverse range of titles, offering hard-to-find and exclusive books of every interest. With over 100,000 titles covering five main categories, namely Lifestyle, Children, Design, Humanities and Professional, Fully Booked has captured the loyalty of book lovers of all ages and walks of life. Discriminate graphic novel enthusiasts may likewise marvel at what remains as the country’s widest selection of graphic novels.
Our merchandise is not limited to just books. We boast high quality stationery as well as limited edition statues, rare compact discs and other collectibles.
Besides being a retail outfit, Fully Booked carries exclusive distributorship of international record labels such as Harmonia Mundi, ECM Records and Channel Classics Records among others.
Fully Booked now has ten stores in the metropolis, located at the Rockwell Power Plant (3rd Floor), the Promenade in Greenhills,.Gateway Mall, SM Mall of Asia, SM North The Block, Trinoma, Eastwood Mall, EDSA Shangri-la Hotel, Greenbelt 5, and the flagship store at Bonifacio High Street, Bonifacio Global City plus another store in Ayala Center, Cebu City.
Their KCC Mall of GenSan outlet therefore, is their first in Mindanao which says a lot about the bookstore owners’ confidence in the local economy.
With all that to look forward to, we have to hand it over to KCC Mall of GenSan for continually levelling up and giving us more reasons to patronize them even with the entry of Manila-based giant malls.
And of course, everything redounds to the benefit of the generals and the people from outlying areas who are fortunate to be in the midst of all these positive developments.
Ang sarap maging General talaga sa mga panahong ito!

Wow, bookworms must really be excited.
When I stayed in Makati 10 years ago, my favorite hangout was Power Books. It’s like Fully Booked where you can just lounge around and read all the books.
This is definitely good news for Generals and I read it here!

i’m a “patron” of their shop here in cebu (ayala)… they have a wonderful titles, a great collection, and a cozy ambience, which makes you just put up your feet and read… although they are on the ‘pricier’ side, it justifies to what they offer… fully booked is every bookworm’s paradise… buslot akong bulsa diri pirmi, but it’s really worth it… try visiting the place, generals!!! this is a most welcome addition to the city’s “destinations”… happy reading!!!

Masarap at talagang proud to be generals noon lalo na NGAYON! hehehe.. wheeehhhh!!, iba n talaga ang Gensan ngayon, my dream is to see my city (GENSAN CITY) to be the number 1 improved and most developed city in the whole philippines!! Isang katibayan jan mga fellow Generals is when we became part of the Billionaires Club of the Philippines..
Despite of the prblems we and the city is facing right now lyk power crisis, fishing ban in the high seas, yet this will not hinder the continuing rise and further growth and development of our beloved city..
Bravo Generals!! Bravo Gensan!! Magandang Gensan sa lahat!!! (^_^)

I was assigned in Gensan last year. Although hot, my stay there was pleasant. The only thing I noticed was that Nadi’s Chicken was more popular than any tuna kinilaw place. Why is that?
Shucks, I love Fully Booked and POwerbooks and won’t get to see the former in Gensan.
By the way, interesting page and your blogsite rocks!
I bumped into your site thru Technorati.
