Wilcon, the leading name in retail construction industry launched its newest and most unique branch on January 30, 2015 at Wilcon IT Hub, Makati City.
Unlike its other branches which boast of spacious floor areas, the new Wilcon IT hub takes it to higher grounds with 15 floors of mixed use space. While the first 2 floors are for its construction material showroom and the next four for parking areas, the remaining floors will be leased for office spaces.
According to Wilcon President and Chief Executive Officer William T. Belo, the location presented a very good opportunity for them to venture into leasing office space. “The location is very strategically located near the MRT and Pasong Tamo which is very accessible from the Makati Business District, and is ideal for BPO’s and other business.
The newly opened store lives up with the company’s mission of providing the residents of the city and nearby towns and municipalities with only the best selection of homebuilding products. The two floors of Wilcon Depot – IT Hub Makati branch houses wide variety of high grade homebuilding materials ranging from Tiles, Sanitary Wares, Appliances, Plumbing, Hardware, Tools and other D.I.Y. Items such as Electrical, Building Materials, Automotive, Doors and Mouldings, Hardware, Outdoor Living and Paints and Sundries.
It also gives customers a more convenient shopping experience with its organized product arrangement, air conditioned shopping area and knowledgeable sales personnel among others.
Aside from the products they carry, Wilcon also provides customers with value added services such as ample parking spaces and tile cutting services among others. Wilcon also made shopping with kids comfortable with the Kid’s Play Area found inside the store. Free Membership to Wilcon Loyalty Card Program as well as Design Hub where personalized home design can be done is also offered to customers.
It has been Wilcon’s aim to be of service to more Filipinos nationwide since its inception in 1977. It opened its first branch near Muñoz (along EDSA) in Quezon City, and has since added several retail outlets in strategic locations within Metro Manila and in the provinces. The Wilcon I.T. Hub brought Wilcon’s total store network to 33.
While the company focused on renovating several of its stores and only opened a single store, last year, Belo said they will be embarking on an aggressive expansion plan with 5 branches opening this year.
Wilcon Senior Executive Vice-President and Chief Operating Officer Rosemarie Bosch Ong said they are targetting locations in the cities of San Pablo in Laguna and Tacloban in Leyte, as well as the municipality of Villasis in Pangasinan and the Molino district in Cavite.
“The new developments are a reflection of the company’s vision for the year which is excellence, Ong told media in an interview adding “We strive for excellence not only for profit. We strive for excellence in the service that we give our customers.”
The celebration started with the traditional motorcade joined by Wilcon business partners. Led by Wilcon Mascot’s WIL, cars roamed around the city of Makati and Taguig, announcing the good news to the homebuilders and enthusiasts.
Marking the official launch of the depot is the ribbon cutting ceremony led by Wilcon President and CEO William Belo, SEVP – COO Rosemarie Ong and EVP – CFO Lorraine Belo Cincochan. They were joined by Wilcon local and international suppliers from China, Hong Kong and USA, who flew in the country to celebrate this feat.
