THE 2012 Sari-Sari Store Festival is expected to provide the over 2000 members of the Prince Warehouse Club attending the event with tools on how they can grow their respective businesses.
The event, which will be held on July 14 at the Cebu International Convention Center (CICC) in Mandaue City, will hold discussions on how to further grow their sari-sari stores including best practices and successes in running these iconic village stores.
Those who want to expand their businesses will find help in looking for more capital as experts will provide them with the techniques on how to access funds from loan providers, including micro-financing.
These are just among the points to be discussed during the event which will also tackle other issues necessary to grow stores of club members.
“The Festival is our way of expressing our gratitude for the members for their continued support in sustaining and advancing our vision,” Robert Go, Prince Warehouse Club president and CEO, said, whose company has launched the event seven years ago as its way of recognizing the contribution of its members in the growth of the local economy.
With the theme: “Sari-Sari Store Festival 2012: Grow Your Store With Us!,” the Sari-Sari Store Festival has become a much-anticipated activity of Prince Warehouse Club that has opened branches last year in the towns of Baybay, Maasin and Naval. In the last quarter of this year, it will open two more branches in Argao and Dalaguete, in southern Cebu.
Participants and the rest of those who want to see the exhibits will have a better viewing area for the products as sponsors who will be provided strategically-located stalls to showcase their products.
The event will be capped with a variety show and the awarding for the Best in Booth Display on the theme: “Growing your stores with Prince Warehouse Club.”
