Robinsons Supermarket Bluewave Then And Now

Robinsons Bluewave Marikina: A Landmark for Community and Convenience

Nestled along the bustling intersection of Sumulong Highway and Gil Fernando Ave. in Marikina City, Robinsons Bluewave has long stood as a prominent landmark, serving as a vital hub for shopping. More than just a commercial complex, it represents a significant point of convenience for residents of Marikina and the surrounding areas.

A Look Back: The Genesis of Bluewave

Robinsons Bluewave Marikina first opened its doors to the public in the mid 2000s. Before Sumulong Highway became populated with commercial establishments, Bluewave was one of the earlier establishments to occupy this major intersection. Its establishment marked a strategic move to cater to the growing population and emerging commercial landscape of Marikina City. From its inception, Bluewave was envisioned as a comprehensive lifestyle center, designed to offer a wide array of services and retail options under one roof, thereby enhancing the daily lives of its patrons.




The Heart of Convenience: Robinsons Supermarket

At the core of Robinsons Bluewave's appeal is the expansive Robinsons Supermarket. Open conveniently from Monday to Sunday, 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM, the Robinsons Supermarket at Bluewave Marikina caters to every household's needs. Shoppers can expect a wide array of products, ensuring a one-stop grocery experience. From the freshest fruits and vegetables to premium cuts of meat and seafood, the supermarket prioritizes quality and variety.


Beyond the basics, the supermarket also houses a payment center for bills, a bakery with fresh breads and pastries, and a cooked foods section where snacks and meals can be eaten there or bought for takeout.Ample parking is also available at the back and front of the supermarket. A small parking fee ensures security plus a nearby place to bring your groceries after shopping. At the Gil Fernando side is a jeepney stop where commuters can conveniently choose between taking a jeep or riding a tricycle.

Robinsons Bluewave Marikina is located at Marquinton Bluewave 2, Sumulong Highway corner Gil Fenando Ave., Brgy. Sto. NiƱo, Marikina, Metro Manila, Philippines.

A Demolished Bay Tree

What used to be popularly known as Bay Tree at the corner of Katipunan Road and Gen. Ordonez (formerly Molave St). is no more.    Some who are not  familiar with the place (usually those asking for directions) used to mistakenly call it "Bay 3".  But for those who are familiar with this supermarket, it has been at this corner since the 1980's.   It has been there long before the Molave Wet & Dry Market was built just across it.  Bay Tree also used to be home as well to several small stores adjacent to it and also served as a tricycle terminal along the Katipunan Ave side.

Most of the time, Bay Tree served as shelter from the rains as people would stay here until rains subside.   It also served as waiting shed for commuters waiting for the SSS Village jeeps and a meeting area for Marikenos living nearby.  The building has been totally demolished and is currently just a vacant lot.

Bay Tree and Florings are 2 supermarkets surely to be remembered by Marikenos from SSS Village and Marikina Heights.
