MINBIZCON now in its 22nd year is the
largest gathering of businesses in Mindanao and represents a huge opportunity
for the company to expand in the region. Expanding its presence in Mindanao has
been a priority for the company as it seeks to capitalize on the increased
development in the area.
The company’s head, Carson Tan says
“The growth of urbanization and the economy in Mindanao has opened up a large
opportunity for us as we seek to further enlarge our nationwide presence. At
the same time, expanding in the region will allow the company to fulfill its
mission to offer safe drinking water to people in areas where potable water
remains problematic.”
The company says it intends to pursue
growth opportunities in Mindanao particularly in Davao. The company says hat
Mindanao has a rapidly urbanizing population which is critical to support the
business. The areas also represent an opportunity to expand from the congested
Luzon markets where the company’s stores are mostly located.
To help prospective franchisees take
out a franchise the company inked partnerships with banks like BPI that would
facilitate loan applications to possible franchisees. The company also offers
in house financing to prospective franchisees.
The MINBIZCON would run from August
8-10 at the SMX Convention Center at SM Lanang Premier Davao City.
