Soon, shopaholics will experience the shopping pleasure as Ali Mall,
the country’s first shopping center, undergoes a major renovation
to better serve its loyal patrons and reinforce its reputation as
the premiere shopping and dining mecca. The mall-wide revamp is in
line with Araneta Center’s 20-year Redevelopment Master Plan.
Situated right at the heart of Araneta Center, Ali Mall will be
refurbished to respond to the discriminating and varied tastes of
shoppers. From an updated exterior look, the shopping center will
also have an upgraded and more interesting merchandise mix beginning
with the launch of Shoe Center, a total lifestyle outlet offering
quality shoes and bags at value-friendly prices. Ali Mall is also
home to some of the country’s leading retail outlets such as
Adidas, The Body Shop, Royal Sporting House, Plains and Prints,
Folded and Hung, Marithe Francois Girbaud, Wade, Guess, Converse,
National Bookstore, Rustan’s Expresslane, and Mercury Drug.
Besides world-class shopping choices, the
redevelopment project will also give way to more exciting dining
destinations in addition to its existing roster of A-list food
outlets. The gastronomic adventure will continue to be one of Ali
Mall’s main attractions and will be even more delightful with
well-loved food chains such as Pizza Hut, Tokyo Tokyo, Old Spaghetti
House, KFC, Hap Chan, Pancake House, Max’s, and Gerry’s Grill
around. Even coffeeholics will have something to look forward to
with the recent opening of the newest outlet of Starbucks Coffee.
Movie buffs can look forward to
fully-refurbished Ali Mall Cinemas that will showcase the latest
equipment to match that of Gateway Cineplex 10, hailed as one of the
best cinemas in the metro today. New escalators will replace
stairways while a bridgeway will be constructed to directly connect
Ali Mall to the adjacent SM Department Store for greater shopping
access. Lush landscaping and wider sidewalks will be developed to
create a more inviting streetscape.
The mall-wide revamp also constitutes a newly
renovated entrance along Times Square 2 for better access.
