Robinsons Land Corp. (RLC) expanded its retail footprint in Mindanao with the recent opening of Robinsons Pagadian, its 56th shopping mall overall and 8th in the region.
Located in the capital of Zamboanga del Sur, the mall is the latest development under Robinsons Malls, the Commercial Centers Division of RLC.
The mall has quickly established itself as a vibrant new landmark since its launch on April 3, 2025, drawing enthusiastic crowds not just from the city proper but from nearby towns across Zamboanga del Sur and surrounding provinces in Region IX.
Robinsons Pagadian is strategically located across Pagadian City Hall, beside Plaza Luz and the Legislative Building.
Its central location offers unmatched convenience and visibility, making it an ideal destination for retail, community gatherings, and essential services―helping fulfill Robinsons Land’s mission to make life better through spaces that are dynamic, purposeful, and inclusive.
Following RLC’s philosophy to design with local relevance in mind, the mall celebrates Pagadian’s rich cultural heritage.
Inspired by the city’s coastal identity and the iconic vinta, its interiors are awash in natural light and bright colors. Details such as vinta-inspired installations and visual nods to Pagadian’s eye-catching bao-bao tricycle, give further insights on RLC’s thoughtful connection to the city’s culture, history, and people.
Complementing its design, the mall delivers thoughtful features that enhance its role in everyday community life.
It introduces the Robinsons Movieworld experience to Pagadian for the first time, complete with two state-of-the-art theaters equipped with laser projection and Dolby Digital 7.1 Surround Sound.
Robinsons Pagadian also serves as a community hub where residents can access government services, take their licensure, board, or professional exams, and attend events.
Flexible spaces within the mall can accommodate trade fairs, local showcases or exhibits, and other civic activities―highlighting RLC’s commitment to community integration and service wherever it builds.
Robinsons Pagadian’s retail mix is equally compelling, offering a blend of national brands, first-in-the-city tenants, and homegrown favorites.
Shoppers now enjoy access to Robinsons Department Store, Robinsons Appliances, Power Mac Center, Daiso Japan, Levi’s, Regatta, The Face Shop, Plains & Prints, National Book Store, and Toby’s Sports. The food scene has also expanded with the arrival of KFC, Kenny Rogers Roasters, Gerry’s Grill, Shakey’s, SamgyupSaab Korean BBQ, Dairy Queen, and Llaollao, alongside beloved local names such as Ambrosia Bellychon, Steamworks, Sikwate House, and Kai Coffee.
These diverse brands not only elevate the shopping and dining experience for local consumers, they also bring into focus the mall’s role as a launchpad for business growth. Robinsons Malls is widely recognized as a credible and coveted partner among both national chains and local entrepreneurs, offering strategic exposure, operational support, and reliable foot traffic.
By attracting such a strong retail lineup to Pagadian, RLC helps strengthen the city’s position as a thriving commercial hub.
The mall also creates new platforms for local MSMEs to thrive―offering supportive leasing terms and a trusted environment for growth.
In the realm of entertainment, options like Kidzooona, World of Fun, and Tom’s World provide much-needed leisure and play spaces for families―complementing the mall’s role as a destination for everyday living, connection, and recreation.
These additions demonstrate Robinsons Malls’ depth of experience in building well-integrated lifestyle hubs that meet both business goals and community needs.
With its eighth mall in the region, RLC demonstrates its belief in the vitality and economic promise of Mindanao. These efforts affirm RLC’s role as a trailblazer in regional expansion, with each new development guided by a deep sense of responsibility―ensuring that safety, security, and sustainability are embedded in both mall design and operations
