Starbucks in Davao

The opening of Abreeza Ayala Mall had made a lot of Davaoenos happy. Who would not? With over 66 (I heard) newly opened stores and first in Davao City, it is like having shopped in Cebu and Manila. Obviously, an edge to those who have been traveling and shopping afar but for those whose time and finances won't allow, the opening of the new mall is like a gateway to other places or even countries.


The opening of Starbucks in Abreeza, on its first day was filled and piled, even outside the stores, with many who want to have the first taste of it. While others jumped for excitement, there are others who tagged Davaoenos "ignorant" for being too shallow boasting about their Starbucks experience. But actually, for me, it was just excitement that filled these people to grab their cups. Of course, for many years a lot have longed to see it rise in Davao and to have a taste of it. And I am one of the many who is happy that this arrived in the city, although I would want that I can visit the shop too, soon.
