S&R Membership Shopping Soon To Rise In Marikina City

Coming soon to Marikina City is S&R Membership shopping, which will be open to members for a whole new destination of great finds, big savings, and world-class shopping.

A two-storey structure will soon occupy the 15,000 sq. meter lot along Sumulong Highway near the boundary of Marikina City and Cainta.

President of SnR Membership Shopping Anthony Sy announced that they intend to hire all of their staff within Marikina.

Marikina Mayor Marcelino Teodoro believes that S&R will not only generate more jobs for Marikenos but also boost the local economy brought by the additional revenue from S&R.

S&R will be located across Tropicana Garden City and beside Nissan Sumulong Highway Cainta dealership.

Florings Bids Farewell

Florings, the long time minimart, and grocery along Rainbow St. and Lavander St. has now closed. This store within SSS Village has been around for decades.  I remember when I was little that Florings was one of the reliable stores to buy food and body products if we ran out of some or needed something quickly.  My mom used to buy canned goods, crackers and some knick-knacks at Florings in the '70's when they moved to Marikina.  It started out as a small sari-sari store and slowly grew occupying a bigger corner lot.

I guess with the advent of a myriad of convenience stores which have all been more accessible than before, that Florings naturally was going to lose out to them.

Nevertheless, Florings has served the thousands of residents within the vicinity for nearly four decades.  To Florings: thank you for your service.
