World-class retail store to open in Cagayan de Oro

Globe Telecom is strengthening its business and operations in Cagayan de Oro with the opening of its world-class retail store dubbed as “Generation 3” Store in Limketkai Mall on December 2014. 

The Globe Store in Limketkai Mall was creatively boarded up in preparation for a live art performance by select Filipino artists led by Ross Capili

The Globe Store in Limketkai Mall in Cagayan de Oro is the second retail store of the leading telecommunications company to undergo major renovation, paving the way for one of the biggest milestones in telco retail around the world. The new Globe Store in SM North Edsa in Quezon City is also opening on December to offer Globe customers in Manila a new and leveled-up experience in availing of telecom services. 

The new Globe “Generation 3” Stores promise a fresh experience for its customers, boasting of a unique retail concept that is a first of its kind in the Philippines, designed by Tim Kobe, founder and CEO of Eight, Inc. whose brainchild is the iconic Apple store in New York. On the future Globe Stores, Kobe says, “Globe is transforming the customer experience in the Philippines and it will send shock waves far beyond.” Among his achievements, Kobe is responsible for the designs of the Apple Stores, the Nike Concept Stores, Coke, Knoll, Virgin Atlantic Airways, and Citibank. 

The “Generation 3” stores will house interactive lifestyle vignettes that will feature a myriad of products within interesting displays that make it more relevant to customers. The installations are made flexible and reconfigurable allowing the store to transform, keeping the environment always fresh and giving customers a reason to return. 

Artists get their tools ready for the live art performance

Globe Retail Transformation and Management Head Joe Caliro said, “Apart from our Store in SM North Edsa, we are proud to open our second Generation 3 store here in Cagayan de Oro which we consider one of our strongest markets. As we remain focused on our business in Cagayan de Oro and Mindanao in general, we have high hopes with the unveiling of our Generation 3 Store which we believe will take Globe to the next level of telco retail and customer experience.”
