Robinson's Mall: Mas Maganda Dito, a Totally New Shopping Haven

When the family decided to relocate to Zambonga City, we were quite used to seeing different malls from local owners but the shopping experiences were limited if not satisfying. We would have to travel elsewhere to experience a more exciting and pleasing spree and to have known and purchased national and international brands would make me feel that Filipinos are also capable of experiencing shopping, window or otherwise, at  a global and trendy taste within the meager pay of most Filipino workers.


Thus, when we had to move back to Gensan in 2008, that same old feeling began to rejuvenate again not until September 30, 2009 when  Robinsons Place General Santos opened its doors to the general public. We were among the few who waited and were captivated by the grandness and elegance of this globally renowned shopping mall and to have it within the confines of my beloved General Santos City,  I can't keep my jaws closed! Well, who won't be especially for a fashion fanatic like me who wants elite brands and reasonable prices as my major aphrodisiacs.   Indeed, Robinsons Mall's tagline, MAS MAGANDA DITO, is not at all an overstatement, it is an epitome of a totally different shopping experience that every General can be proud of.


From morning to evening, Robinsons Mall is a vibrant sanctuary for all ages and the Generals along with tourists can take pride and delight from the spacious parking space, free  mallwide WIFI access, trendy and comfy 3D movieworld, fresh and complete supermarket,  varied  and grand department store, elegant but pangmasa food court,   sumptuous-filled ALFRESCO resto-bars, exciting amusement for kids and kids at heart,  high-end sensorized facilities   and great customer service that you can't help but feel you are in a world - class shopping mall with a VIP stature. This grand shopping mall is house to over 100 national and local food and retail players offering various novelty items and services within anyone's budget.


Robinsons Gensan  has been our personal favorite from morning to sundown and no other malls have offered and shown social responsibility at its best. It has partnered with various industries like schools, government agencies and other private institutions where Robinson's Atrium and Main Entrance Area  have become favorite spots for grand job fairs, free weekend exercises, school and office functions with great freedom and ease.

My family and I freely  jog along the spacious paved roads of Robinson's Mall while other health - conscious buffs, elders and young ones,  do their walking and Taichi on regular days and free group exercise of taebo and boxing  on  weekends. Families and friends bond and go healthy  in and through Robinsons Place.Only this shopping mall expresses social responsibility with no cost at all!

And, when parties or events itch my feet, I am assured that Robinson's ATRIUM and ALFRESCO guarantee flawless satisfaction. No wonder, it has become a favorite "tambayan" of people who have had a bad or stressed day or otherwise, unwind  and relax with friends and loved ones.

When occasions for  parents, spouses, siblings or kids call for gifts, you won't get disappointed at all from the the wide selection in Robinsons Department Store and Handyman Do It Best store. In fact, we just ravished the toy section for my kid and nephews at way too cheap prices.  And with Robinsons' ALL - OUT Sale from August 1 - 31, we can all find best keeps for my nephew's and father's birthdays.
