Figaro, Kitchen City open first collaboration store
THE KITCHEN CITY and the Figaro Coffee Group, Inc. (FCG) had its grand opening of the Lobby Café in World Trade Center, Pasay City last Dec. 22 with a ribbon cutting ceremony attended by Guillermo Luchangco, chairman emeritus of ICCP Group of Companies; Pamela Pascual, chairman and CEO of Manila Exposition Complex Inc., Kitchen City Owner and Chairman of the Board Alfredo Yao; Ricardo Abelardo Jr., president of Kitchen City; and Ace Azarraga, FCG’s brand and partnership director.
The World Trade Center Metro Manila (WTCMM) is the venue of major exhibitions and trade shows participated by foreign delegations and buyers from different parts of the world. It offers a fully equipped facility in a strategic location that offers excellent visitor mileage and accessibility to international airports, seaports, entertainment, and cultural facilities, five-star hotel accommodations as well as in Makati, the main central business district in the Philippines.
“The Figaro Coffee Group and Kitchen City have been partners since before the pandemic,” Mr. Azarraga stated. “Kitchen City selected FCG as its coffee provider due to the latter’s commitment to delivering quality and affordable products.
With more than 13 outlets distributed across Kitchen City concessionaires, schools, offices, and manufacturing companies, FCG has successfully established a strong presence in various sectors.”
“The Opening of Lobby Café is a celebration of long-term planning of a vision, consistently offering good service and option for world trade clients,” Mr. Abelardo added. “World Trade Center is one of the leading event venues, they don’t stop what they are doing right now and constantly searching for what is next.”
FCG continues to expand not only opening stores but also partnering with other big companies like Kitchen City. From a humble beginning to becoming a global success, Figaro Coffee remains committed to providing exceptional coffee experiences and supporting local communities.
