Let’s cook easy to make fish products

source: The Pisces, by Rosario Ragaza

The Filipino patterns in eating and preparing food have changed. These  changes are due to the increase in the number of women joining the workforce. Another reason is the western influence on acceptance of fast foods. Hence, there is an increased demand for instant or convenience foods, which are easy to prepare, taste good and provide the desired nutrients.

Ministop Franchise

Ministop Franchise

During the 90’s the only convenient store I known is 7-11 but today consumers have another option and that is Ministop. Ministop is under Robinson or the Gokongwei’s. This store is so popular that even my niece who is 3 years old is a frequent visitor of Ministop. Take note, it is my niece who is asking us to bring her to Ministop.

Currently Ministop is offering franchising option. Below are some info taken from their site:

Since it opened its doors to the Philippines in December 2000, MINISTOP has always envisioned becoming the leader in the convenience store industry. MINISTOP has made its presence felt by being the community’s warmest and friendliest modern combo store.

Pan de Pidro -Bakery Franchise

Pan De Pidro’s

Company Profile.

The fast-pace mode of living in urban areas has caused a considerable shift in the preference of families towards bread products., read are satisfying and are readily available, which “liberates” busy people from having to prepare elaborate meals and snacks.

However most traditional bakeries operating in small communities do not offer attractive breads products forcing customers, who are on the lookout for quality baked goodies, to try the relatively expensive alternative: breads sol at groceries and supermarkets.

It is for this reason that Gilie Sing established Pan de Pidro, a bakery that is a cross between a traditional bakery and a regular bakeshop. Like a traditional pan de coco, ensaymada, cinnamon rolls and similar local products. As a bakeshop, the quality of its products is well above the “masa” variety and may already be categorized as specialty baked goodies. But the bottom-line is that Pan de Pidro’s quality products are always offered at prices that are well appreciated by the value-consious middle and lower-middle income groups.

Pan de Pidro is now a household name within the community called Barangay Vergara in Mandaluyong City, where it all started. Now, through nationwide franchising, Pan de Pidro hopes to bring this enhanced concept of bread-making to every community in the country.

Mission statement

We envision Pan de Pidro as a source of both traditional bread staples and alternative bread products offered at value for money prices.

Vision statement

Pan de Pidro shall be known as a major brand of bread products and shall be made available to a wide range of consumers through various marketing channels.
