Fun, family, pizza!
Magic, music, cheerdancing and fun marked the grand opening of the 200th Shakey’s restaurant at Paseo de Magallanes in Makati City.
The new restaurant features new elements that will soon be fixtures in all Shakey’s restaurants across the country, including spacious dining halls, a Fun Zone, a piano that takes back to the early years of Shakey’s; and a dessert bar.
Highlighting the monumental event was the ceremonial cutting of a giant Shakey’s pizza by Century Pacific Group founder
Ricardo Po Sr., Shakey’s Pizza Asia Ventures Inc. (SPAVI) vice chair Ricardo Gabriel Po Jr., and president and CEO Vicente Gregorio with Shakey’s endorser Luis Manzano.
Gregorio said, “This store is a product of hard work and many hours thinking about how we can make the Shakey’s experience even more ‘wow.’ We wanted this branch to standout without losing the Shakey’s trademark design.”
The newest Paseo de Magallanes branch definitely achieved the goal with new elements not seen before in other stores. The piano was there as well as an array of cakes in the dessert bar to complete the menu. The staff had new, distinct uniforms to signify Shakey’s commitment to innovation. This reminded me of my childhood birthday parties at the old Shakey’s. (For more information, visit www.shakeyspizza.ph, www.facebook.com/ShakeysPH/ and @shakeysph on Instagram.)
