Red Ribbon Opens New Store in Market! Market!, TriNoma

Red Ribbon, one of the country’s leading bakeshops, recently redesigned its stores in Market! Market! and TriNoma to make family moments even sweeter.

According to Zinnia Rivera, general manager of Red Ribbon, the company designed these two new stores with Filipino families in mind, creating in-store warmth that brings memories and feelings of home.

“We conceptualized our stores based on a Filipino family’s happy moments. Once our customers visit these stores, they’ll feel the warmth of home,” Rivera said. “This is why we’d like all Filipino families to come to our stores: we want them to experience this kind of warmth that comes from our delightful and delicious products and more homey store concept.”

These two new stores highlight designs that reflect happy bondings shared with the family. Its use of wood elements create a warm interior finish, evoking comfort that’s unmistakably home.

“While the new Red Ribbon stores create a trademark of being warm and homey, we would like our customers to feel that they are part of a much bigger family that makes every day a special celebration,” Rivera said. “With Red Ribbon, they are always welcome.”

She continued, “This is evident through the new designs we painted on the walls.  We visually translated the sweet family bonds, reminding every Filipino family of their own kulitan and lambingan that are made more special and unforgettable with Red Ribbon’s sweet delights. We want to give them an exciting and delightful experience that stays with the customer from the moment they enter our store and long after they leave.”

Its spacious interior design give customers a sense of personal space in choosing their favorite Red Ribbon products. Furthermore, a special Dedication Cake counter is mounted “so they can see how their very heartwarming dedications are inscribed on their cakes.”

“This exceptional customer experience is further complemented by our hospitable crew members who gladly welcome the customers every time they enter the store,” Rivera said. “Such friendliness and warmth give the customers more reason to come back.”

Red Ribbon started as a small bakeshop in Timog Avenue in Quezon City, which further expanded into a proudly Filipino-owned business that has taken part in every Filipino family’s special moments. To date, the bakeshop has more than 300 branches nationwide, growing to become a hub where everyone is welcome to bring home the experience of warmth found in every slice of its many sweet offerings.

For Red Ribbon, it’s always about “bringing home the experience of warmth and love found in every bite of its cakes, breads and pastries,” Rivera said.

She concluded, “Home is where the heart is, that’s why Red Ribbon continues to innovate not only its products but also the concept of its stores. At Red Ribbon, Filipino families can make their everyday moments even sweeter.”

The Red Ribbon stores in TriNoma and Market! Market! are now open to serve Filipino families during mall hours. Visit the new concept stores now and bring home a box of happiness sealed with a Red Ribbon.

Occasions Filipinos never fail to celebrate

For Filipinos, food and celebrations are inseparable. Nothing seems to reinforce the social bonds better than occasions made memorable by the company of family and close friends.

As a country, we are known for having many holidays. These holidays are used as a reason to come together to enjoy each other’s company and renew the bonds between each member. And while we have a penchant for celebrating even ordinary occasions, there are few occasions that we always mark in a big way.

Over the years, Red Ribbon’s cakes, breads, and pastries have become a staple of these major celebratory occasions and make family get-together more memorable. These cakes and pastries have somehow become the perfect ending to any celebratory meal whether it is a feast that’s grand or meal that is simple.

As soon as the “ber” months start, we know that the Christmas season is upon us. Beginning September, we already begin counting down the days to December 25. As the air begins to chill, we anticipate every party we attend, look forward to every get together and get excited as Christmas Eve draws near. Come the evening of December 24, we welcome Christmas with a feast fit for a king. As is our custom, the table is almost always filled to overflowing usually with food that would take hours to prepare. Morcon, Christmas ham, turkey, fruit salad and lechon are just some of the food commonly served during noche buena. After the meal, gifts are exchanged and the ties that bind are renewed.

Filipinos do things in a big way. It is no surprise that we like to celebrate New Year’s Eve with a great deal of fanfare. New Year’s Eve is an occasion where we welcome the coming year with the customary fireworks display in an effort to drive away the spirits of the previous year. Like all our big celebrations, we gather friends and loved ones with a feast. The dining table is usually filled with the most sumptuous food and the most glorious desserts. New Year’s Eve celebrations are marked by the sharing of a meal, gifts and conversation among family members. It is a time when we throw out the old ways to make way for the new.

Every second Sunday of May is a day we always find reason to celebrate. It is a day we honor the most important women in our lives: our mothers. It is no surprise that families meet up, give gifts and share food, good conversation and memories about how wonderful our mothers are. While not as big a celebration as Christmas and New Year, Mother’s Day celebrations always give families a reason to come together and share a meal and memories and thank our mothers for always being there.

If May is the month wherein we celebrate the love we have for our mothers, June is the month where we pay tribute to our dads. Like Mother’s Day, we find the time to meet up over a meal and more importantly, thank our fathers for providing for all of us in the family. And like any celebration, gifts and food are shared among one another in the family.

Birthdays are perhaps the most personalized celebration of all. Some celebrate alone but being a society with close family ties, most birthday celebrations are done with the family in full attendance. The food we serve during birthdays also takes on special meaning. Noodles or pasta is one common fare during birthday parties because it means long life and prosperity.

February 14 is what many consider a day for lovers to celebrate. Flowers and chocolates are synonymous to this day. However, over the years, Filipinos have come to treat this day as a day to be with family and friends. After all, who says February 14 is only for lovers? While this day may not be as grandly celebrated as Christmas, New Year’ or Mother’s Day, we still make it a point to gather the people near and dear to us and celebrate with a meal that is shared and served with love.

Indeed, these celebratory occasions are demonstrative of the close-knit family ties we Filipinos have and moreover, how family, occasion, and food are shared among one another. These are the hallmarks that define our culture and have added color our heritage for many generations now.
