The country’s oldest city, Cebu, is set to add another jewel to its crown, as Rustan’s expands its flagship department store in the Queen City of the South.
Inspired by the elegance and global outlook of the Cebuanos, Rustan’s Cebu is set to triple its scale. Bringing premiere labels and the assortment of choices the department store has been known for, Rustan’s aims to better match the emergent lifestyles in the heart of the Visayas.
After it opened in 1981 in the bustling Mango Avenue, Rustan’s Department Store in Cebu became a landmark in luxury retail in Cebu and nearby provinces. In 1995, it became part of the Ayala Center Cebu.
Now, a decade later, matching Cebu’s rise as a global manufacturing center and the lifestyle gateway to the region, Rustan’s Cebu reemerges with a stately new department store complex—three floors of prime retail space housing the world’s premium brands.
From the store’s original 2,500 sqm shopping space, Rustan’s Cebu now has three floors that total 10,000 sqm filled with select merchandise for Visayan consumers.
The new Rustan’s Department Store Cebu will have specialty levels housing cosmetics, fashion and home. It has wide, well-lit and well-curated shopping aisles.
The first level has the bolstered Men’s and Cosmetic sections. Ascot Chang, Oleg Cassini, Armani Jeans and Pedro del Hierro headline the sleekest selections in men’s apparel, as well as footwear from Kurt Geiger and Born Shoes.
Unique and interesting knick-knacks are at Discovery Shop, as well as luxury writing instruments and other accessories from Montblanc.
