Initially opened on weekends, the overwhelming reception pushed Mercato's management to extend its operating schedule which has been a delightful sight for those who have learned about the new food park. However, similar to newly-emerging businesses, every interesting development comes with unexpected circumstances which sometimes becoming an unexpected matter for the locals and food lovers.
Perhaps what helps Mercato De Lipa in its quick traction is social
media with lifestyle blog Hello Lipa as its partner in promoting the avenue as
well as updates regarding its developments. It is usually interesting for startups
to take advantage of the Internet and social media in gaining traction and
attention. Despite the cons, I am impressed at how the likes of Facebook,
Twitter and Instagram are able to give push to these emerging businesses that
can cope well in today's modern world.
Although its reception continues to remain positively engaging, Mercato
De Lipa is yet to exceed the success of other gems that have gained their own following
such as Fourth Steaks and Kebabs, Fashion Avenue, Jayson Marketing and so much
more. With the City for All Seasons becoming the newest lifestyle hub in South
Luzon, Mercato De Lipa is poised to be an alternative avenue for food lovers
who want to try beyond what they have tried uptown.
Mercato De Lipa is situated
at C.M. Recto Avenue cor. Malvar St., Lipa City near MBC Gas and Pawnshop and
is now open every Wednesday to Sunday from 5:00 to 11:00 pm. Follow Mercato De
Lipa on Facebook for updates.
