Gaisano Market (GMarket) Launches on foodpanda Shops

If you’re a fellow Dabawenyo, you know that Gaisano Market (GMarket) has basically been a staple in our homes for as long as we can remember. I’ve personally lost count of how many times I’ve dropped by their physical stores for last-minute essentials.

But here’s the best news: we don’t even have to leave the house to get our GMarket favorites anymore! They’ve officially joined foodpanda Shops, and honestly, it’s a total game-changer for my grocery routine.

Why I’m loving this move:

Convenience: We’re combining that classic GMarket reliability we’ve trusted for decades with the ease of the foodpanda app.

Accessibility: Whether I’m stuck in a meeting or just having a lazy day, I can get my household essentials delivered straight to my doorstep.

Joseph Wijesekera, Director of Q-Commerce at foodpanda Philippines, hit the nail on the head: "We aren't just delivering groceries—we're making everyday living simpler." And as someone who uses the app all the time, I can definitely vouch for that.

Patricia Gaisano, Marketing Manager at GMarket, mentioned that they wanted to meet us "wherever we are," and this is exactly what we needed. It’s great to see a local brand adapting to how we live today without losing that familiar touch.

A sweet moment to kick things off:

To celebrate the launch, they actually surprised one of their riders, Ka-panda Johannah Ranera, with the ceremonial "first order." Instead of a regular pickup, she got to take home the groceries as a gift! It’s such a nice gesture to acknowledge the riders who keep our city moving.

So, if you’re like me and need to restock your pantry, open your foodpanda app and check out GMarket on Shops. They’ve got some launch promos running right now, so it’s the perfect time to try it out!
