The Marketplace, a premium grocery chain under the Robinsons Retail Holdings, has opened a new store at Vista Mall Antipolo, marking its return to the city after a brief absence. The new outlet, located on the ground floor of the mall, was announced by InsiderPH in a report sourced from Google News’ retail Philippines feed. The store aims to serve the growing residential and commercial demand in the Antipolo area.
The Marketplace offers a wide selection of fresh produce, imported goods, and local favorites, catering to middle- and upper-income shoppers. The new Antipolo store features modern shelving, a dedicated deli section, and a bakery, consistent with the chain’s upscale positioning. Industry observers note that the return to Antipolo fills a gap left by the closure of its previous location along Sumulong Highway.
The expansion comes amid a broader retail recovery in the Philippines, with major players like Robinsons and SM investing in new store formats. Vista Mall, a rising community mall brand, stands to benefit from increased foot traffic. The Marketplace’s decision to re-enter Antipolo underscores confidence in the city’s economic growth, driven by its proximity to Metro Manila and a booming real estate sector.
