Endless Shopping Options in Landers Superstore

happened on July 10, 2016

My IG feed has been flooded lately with posts on this store.  I became curious and started to research on what the buzz is all about.  And so as they say, curiosity kills the cat... "gastos on the rise"

just love the architecture.. doesn't look like a warehouse at all

Landers superstore is a newly opened 8,000 sq. m. membership super market located along EDSA near Balintawak market.  It is very similar with S&R chain of supermarkets but offers majority of imported products (around 80%).

Since I learned that it's like S&R, I forced asked the hubby to accompany me in checking it out.  The kids were curious as well so they joined me in going here.

It's a Sunday so we were not surprised to see that it's already jam packed when we arrived but there is an ample parking space so parking is quite easy.

First on the list is to be a member.  Here's a guide on how to be one:

1. Line-up, and fill-up a form in the registration area located at the entrance. No need for any ID as you will be needing to present this upon claiming of the permanent card.  The registration officer will place a registration number on your form. Go to the 2nd registration table.

2.  Submit the form to this table where you will pay the annual membership fee and get your temporary membership ID.  Annual membership fee for now (till September 15, 2016) is Php640.00; 20% discounted from the regular fee of Php800.00.

3.  You can now use your temporary card for shopping.  The permanent ID can be claimed after a week at this section. You have to present this temporary ID, receipt and any valid ID to claim it.

So you have the tempo ID, next of course is ... shopping!!!!

The store set-up is basically the same with S&R but more spacious and some added elegance.  But they offer mostly the same products.  The prices are almost the same, too.

in a few months, this will be too crowded as well

Any supermarket or grocery store is a happy place for me so this one is not so different.  I took most of the time checking each section.  Here, let me take you a tour:

Lots and lots of chocolates to welcome any shopper:

The appliance center:

The home section, elegantly looking in one side:

The neatly arranged apparel section in one corner:

for babies

some Cath Kidston's inspired bags

The homeware section:

Your beloved pets will also be spoiled:

Lots and lots of sauces, dressings, chips, etc:

a bucket of Nutella!!!!

Cleaning materials:

The fresh produce and meat sections:

Some booze and spirits:

I scream for Ice Cream:

ice cream with wine.. whoah!!!!

The local products:

The organic section:

Last but not the least, the toilettries section:

They also have an in house bakery and rotisserie:

After the tiring shopping activities, there is Landers Central which is a fast food offering pizza, fried and roasted chicken, french fries and hotdog sandwiches for the hungry tummies.  For now, the choices are quite limited.  They still don't have the salad, pasta and burgers yet.  Pizza as per my hubby is tastier and softer compared to S&R's.  Fried chicken is definitely tastier, close to Shakey's.

thin and soft pizza slices (this just one order)

Unlike S&R, this has a coffee shop catering desserts and some nicely brewed coffee.  The ice cream costs more than S&R's but the flavors are quite interesting.  I was not able to sample the ice cream but this is a good reason to return.

They also have a barber shop at the entrance for the hubby while waiting for the wifey to finish shopping.

So if you cannot find what you are looking for in S&R, you might want to try looking for it here.

 Happy shopping!!!

our goodies, yehey!!!

I hope with this new store, there will be better offers from the competitors for the consumers.  Let's see....
