One of the highlights was the raffle draw, where every $25 purchase gave shoppers a chance to win exciting prizes – a Gift Basket from Shopper’s Drug Mart, a Gift Basket from SBOT, and Halloween Gummy Bears.

Then followed by blessing of the store by Father Rufo “Junji” Sarate of OLGC. Guests enjoyed coin’s shower, and sumptuous meal afterwards.
Everyone had a great time, shop, and celebrate the grand opening together. It was a day filled with joy, unity, and community spirit. Congratulations once again to Maria Greaves and her team on this exciting new beginning!
