“There is a big room for growth here in the Philippines and we consider Cebu as one of the major growth areas,” said Krislyn Chia, assistant manager of Toshiba Computer Systems Division (CSD) Singapore, during the opening of its concept store in SM City Cebu.

The store also has a well-defined focus on their line of Must-Have Gadgets such as computer peripherals, cases and other accessories. Members of the press, bloggers, distributors and Toshiba staff were all present for the store blessing and ribbon-cutting, and once the activities had concluded, the store was officially opened, and the guests were the first customers to enter the store’s door.

On top of offering Toshiba products for the consumers, the store will also handle service and support needs, so Toshiba users will have a one-stop shop for all their needs.

Aside from the concept store in Cebu, there are plans to open more in other areas of the country.
