Cebu Welcomes 3RD iSTORE

“We are thrilled to open our biggest store in Cebu’s newest lifestyle mall. Our SM Northwing store is our third store in three years and is a testament to Apple’s ever-growing appeal and popularity in Cebu’s marketplace. SM is a fantastic mall and we think Cebuanos will love this great new location and the incredibly talented team we’ve assembled to make iStore SM a place where people can shop, learn and truly be inspired,” quipped Stanley Yap, iStore’s Managing Director during the formal inauguration of iStore’s latest retail store at the SM Northwing last September 9.

The momentous event  was graced by SM Prime Holding’s VP Marissa Fernan,  SM’s Vismin AVP for Marketing Jenjen Amigo, Managing Director for Apple South Asia Philip Chua who flew in directly from Singapore just to make it to the event, Apple Channels Manager for the Philippines and Guam Anthony Perreau and Proprietor of PowerMac Center Lawrence Sison. Of course, present during the event, too, were friends from the local media and the metro’s “techies.” 

Chezka Martinez, iStore SM’s PR told us that iStore SM is iStore’s largest store in Cebu showcasing the complete line of Macs, iPhone, 3G and iPods for customers to experience hands-on with the assistance of knowledgeable staff comprised of trained professionals, Apple Certified Technicians and enthusiastic customer volunteers, who are all ready to offer personalized instructions to customers who want to learn more about everything from getting started with a Mac to making a high quality home movie. Isn’t it just great?

Being one of the first Apple Premium Resellers (APR) in the country since 2005 and being the only APR and Gold-level apple Service Provider in Cebu, iStore will also be carrying top lifestyle brands from Bose, JBL, Harman Kardon, Samsonite, Victorinox, Golla, Griffin, Contour, Power support, Belkin, Western Digital and a whole array of Mac and iPod accessories. 

So, for all the “techies” out there, iStore SM is your place and is definitely worth your visit. Check it out! (iStore photos by Jay Dalumpines)
