New Apple reseller enters Metro, targets nationwide expansion

MANILA, Philippines - Futureworld, an authorized Apple reseller and the newest player in the Philippine technology retail industry, opened recently the first of two branches in Metro Manila this year, with plans to expand in other key cities nationwide.

Owing to the recent economic growth surge in Asia and the favorable market demand for consumer technology products in the country, Futureworld aims to become a leading retailer not only in the Philippines but also in the region.

“Our long-term plan is to expand in locations with demands and needs not yet offered and catered to by other local Apple premium resellers, such as Antipolo and Bicutan. In the next couple of months, we will be opening branches in San Lazaro and Sta. Mesa, Manila,” said Gerald Senolos, country manager of Futureworld One Philippines Inc.

“Filipino consumers are very exciting and tech-driven — iPhones, iPads, and other mobile devices are used every day not just for Internet connectivity but for a breadth of other purposes like entertainment and productivity,” said Anthony Perreau, regional representative of Futureworld.

“For tech start-ups, this is a good country to be in,” Perreau added.

Under the trade name Futureworld One Philippines Inc., the new stores will carry the complete line-up of Apple hardware and software, while also having exclusive distribution rights to accessories such as earphone organizer Onanoff, iOs-compatible weighing scale and blood pressure monitor Withings, Incipio cases, cycling power meters like iBike, and a complete line of organization accessories from Cocoon.

“Aside from the superb product line-up, our staff who man the stores all attended Apple-conducted trainings. Those who are fairly new to the Apple platform can surely expect thorough assistance and support from our team,” Senolos said.

Futureworld branches are located at 2F Cyberzone, SM City Masinag, Marcos Highway, Barangay Mayamot, Antipolo City and SM Bicutan, 2F building B, Doña Soledad Avenue, Barangay Don Bosco, Bicutan, Taguig City.
