SBMA Chairman Aliño Opens New 2-Storey Starbucks Coffee Shop With Drive-Thru In Subic Bay Freeport Zone

Recently inside the Subic Bay Freeport Zone, Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA) Chairman and Administrator Eduardo Jose L. Aliño formally led the opening of a new two-storey Starbucks Coffee shop with drive-thru, according to the official announcement of the authority. The newest branch of the coffee giant was made with an investment of over P36 million.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from official announcement by the SBMA. Some parts in boldface…

Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA) Chairman and Administrator Eduardo Jose L. Aliño led the opening of the first two-storey Starbucks Coffee Shop with drive-thru facility here on March 6, 2026.

According to Aliño, the opening of the two-storey Starbucks Coffee Shop indicates Subic Bay Freeport’s status as a popular tourist destination, anticipating a year-round influx of customers.

The Starbucks Coffee Shop invested ₱36.75 Million in a 1,700-square-meter area at the portion of Lot 75-A, Rizal Highway, Central Business District, Subic Bay Freeport Zone.

The inauguration was attended by Engr. and Mrs. Rhammeth Paras, Arch. and Mrs. Adonis Co, Mr. and Mrs. Timothy Tang, and Engr. Aries Tanglao, owners of Pandabest Realty and Trading, Inc.

The two-storey Starbucks locations usually offer enhanced, often scenic, spaces with increased seating, frequently housed in restored, architecturally unique, or heritage buildings.

Notable examples include the heritage shophouse in Singapore’s Chinatown, the sprawling Reserve Hiraya in Tagaytay, and a colonial-style bungalow in Rochester.

“Now we have one here, with the building designed to be ‘work and study-friendly,’ providing more intimate, quiet spaces on the upper level compared to the busy ground floor,” Aliño said.

Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? Have you visited other Starbucks branches inside the Subic Bay Freeport Zone during your recent visit there? Do you think there is still more room for further coffee shops or cafes inside the Subic Bay Freeport Zone? How often do you order coffee by drive-thru?

Burger King abre nova unidade em São Luís

O Burger King celebra a expansão de sua presença no Maranhão com a inauguração de uma nova unidade na avenida Daniel de La Touche (ao lado do Royal Center), em São Luís. A nova loja, que se junta às outras unidades já existentes na capital maranhense, reforça a estratégia da Zamp em levar a experiência BK a um número cada vez maior de consumidores. O horário de funcionamento será das 10h às 00:00h de domingo a quinta-feira e das 10h às 2h de sexta e sábado.

Com 263 m² de área construída, a nova loja foi projetada para oferecer uma experiência completa e acolhedora. O ambiente moderno, a conveniência do drive-thru e o serviço ágil são diferenciais da unidade, que também representa uma importante contribuição para o desenvolvimento local, criando 25 novos empregos.

A empresa reforça sua presença na cidade e oferece aos moradores mais uma opção para desfrutar de seus sanduíches com carne grelhada no fogo. Cada nova unidade é um compromisso renovado com a qualidade, a comunidade local e a criação de empregos.
