Greenwich Reveals Fast Casual Store at Robinson’s Galleria

 

The newest, coolest barkada hang-out await pizza and pasta fans as Greenwich reveals its bigger and newly redesigned store on the fourth floor of Robinsons Galleria.

The event was graced by Box Office King and Greenwich endorser John Lloyd Cruz. The following day, it was Kapamilya actress Anne Curtis turn to grace the Robinson’s branch to talk about her latest endorsement for Greenwich: the Greenwich Lasagna Supreme.

The number of Greenwich fast-casual dining concept stores is now close to 50. All these stores aim to serve young people and their friends in key areas of the country, including Manila, Cebu, Baguio and Pampanga.

The renovated store offers a relaxing atmosphere that is perfect for bonding with friends. A re-styled counter welcomes the gang, while soft lighting and colorful walls set the mood for longer conversations. Meanwhile, cozy chairs and couches, as well as murals and store interior designs created by top design groups Team Manila, Blue Bottle Inc. and Publicis Jimenez Basic, encourage customers to stay and savor the “Greenwich experience”—one that offers best-tasting pizza and pasta while enjoying the company of the barkada. The breezier layout also boasts of a more open kitchen, allowing customers to see how freshly prepared their orders are. The whole look brings to mind a posh cafe, complete with baked desserts and premium coffee that complement Greenwich’s delicious pizza and pasta specialties.

In the following months, more Greenwich stores will be sporting the restyled look, giving customers cool spaces where they can relax and enjoy themselves. To date, Greenwich already has over 240 branches, making it the Philippines’ favorite pizza chain.
