Town Snapshots

After months of construction work and much anticipation, Alabang Town Center has finally established itself as a super regional mall right at your doorstep. Whether it’s a pair of socks or the latest trendy handbag, Southern shoppers no longer have to brave Manila’s notorious traffic or delve into uncomfortable locales to find what they need. Partnered with three top-notch supermarkets and department stores, Alabang Town Center continues to grow as Southern Manila’s ideal one-stop shopping center.

Makati Supermart Alabang is a constant in every Southern shopper’s checklist and has been known as the community’s go-to supermarket for decades. Makati Supermart Alabang has undergone a makeover of its own in light of the mall’s many new developments, one of which is the unveiling of a brand new car park building. The 164-slot structure will not only ease the supermarket shoppers’ parking concerns, but also serve as a conveniently located carpark for people after Alabang Town Center’s nightlife and specialty restaurants along Theater Drive and Corte. As a trusted choice for rare finds and grocery runs, it’s all smooth sailing for this supermarket giant.

Alabang Town Center regulars are no strangers to another member of the Alabang Town Center family, Rustan’s Department Store. Over the years, Rustan’s has managed to perfect their selections to satisfy the most discriminating of tastes, presenting a wide range of brands including their very own fashion lines. Despite the store’s premium offerings, a good bargain is never far away at Rustan’s as they continue to lead the pack in fashion and beauty trends... not to mention what a hit they are with the kids too!

Many had been buzzing for months about the mysterious new structure of the mall along Alabang-Zapote road. Much speculation had been done before it was finally revealed that Alabang Town Center had partnered with the Cebu-based gamechangers, Metro. The supermarket-department store combo opened with a bang and rounded off Alabang Town Center’s progress in becoming the premier super regional mall with complete basic shopping in the South. The new 3-level department store caters to the whole family’s shopping needs while the wide-aisled supermarket continues to get rave

reviews. Stocked with everything from the perfect white t-shirt to fresh Canadian cherries and Cebu’s Belgian chocolate-coated dried mangoes, great deals are found left, right, and center at Metro.

With all these new developments, it would be an understatement to say that Alabang Town Center is definitely growing up with the community in which it resides, carrying years of wonderful memories with it every step of the way.

Alabang Town Center’s New Wing boasts of 70 new retail and dining concepts.

The holiday crowd can sap the festive mood from even the best of us. This season, Alabang Town Center eases the holiday road rush with more parking spaces. Glide in to over 360 new parking slots located at the new parking building in front of Makati Supermart and at the basement parking of Metro Supermarket.

Adding more parking spaces is one but keeping that cheery Christmas spirit is another. Here are helpful tips so everyone can pitch in to ensure a happy and hassle-free experience on (and off) road.

1. Let us be your chauffeur. Let us take care of your parking needs with our friendly valet attendants at the Theater Drive and Commerce Avenue drop-offs. For a minimal fee of Php65, you get the convenience of valet service.

2. Save on gas. Plan your trips and save your errands for one afternoon and save up to 40% on fuel costs while reducing wear-and-tear on your car.

3. Have a field trip! Seriously, when carpooling with your family and friends in the middle of rush hour, you’ll find that time passes quickly in the midst of friendly banter and laughter. Give yourself a break and make the commute more enjoyable.

4. Go green. Get lean. Bike your way to Alabang Town Center and you get to save on gas, skirt traffic, and commune with Mother Nature while you shed the pounds and get toned!

5. Once more, get lean… By walking! Enjoy a stroll to and around Alabang Town Center and breathe in the fresh air as you bask in the warm caress of the sun. It’s a great way to meet and greet your neighbors too.

6. Like a scout! Be prepared with our pre-paid parking tickets available at the Concierge and save yourself the inconvenience of carrying around exact change each time you drop by Alabang Town Center. We’ll even throw in a free ticket for every ten you get.

7. First come, first served. Hunting for that elusive perfect parking spot can easily rack up some not so inconsiderable mileage. Instead, save on gas and park at the first open spot you find.

8. Switch off. At Alabang Town Center we offer a drivers’ lounge where your drivers can keep busy instead of staying in a car and keeping it idle. Idling wastes money and causes unnecessary damage to the environment. Simply switching off your car already makes a difference for the better.

9. Use a drive way as a drive way. Refrain from parking or double parking along the drive way and save yourself and other car owners from inconvenient parking. This way, everybody gets to enjoy a worry-free shopping trip.

10. Keep safe. Park securely and leave no valuables inside your car, especially not in plain sight.

Look who’s in town! Tweet your photos to @AlabangTownCntr or send them to us on Facebook and get featured in #TownSnapshots.

From dramatic architectural silhouettes to cozy dates captioned with witty ideas, Alabang Town Center is the perfect backdrop for every fun-filled moment in the South!

So let’s get merry and come on down to Town! This Christmas season, revisit beloved familiar nooks and explore exciting new spaces. From the array of inviting cafes and tasty eats, lovely walks through our avenue of retail shops, or the cheery sway of palm trees, Alabang Town Center beckons to one and all!
