GAISANO “GMALL” OF DAVAO
This is another fun shopping mall that extended with an upper deck some years ago. What makes this mall a great option for people who want to make the most out of their money is that you have plenty of options in this mall. The mall is designed for that and this why it is a great mall. If you want to spend less and make most out of your money, GMall won’t let you down. Get a great haircut for a decent price, eat at Pepper Lunch, shop in the department stores, have a coffee at Coffee Bean and go home with some Filipino sweets at the grocery floor area.
The grocery at the basement is known for providing a really great grocery experience where you can find also many overseas products as well.

NCCC MALL VICTORIA PLAZA
This is the oldest mall in Davao City and many people have great memories in this mall. It has been acquired by NCCC and is now slooowly revamped. The main-focus is the grocery shop which has been fully re-developed and is for many the best grocery besides GMall. It is big with a high-ceiling, has plenty of available products and is always very clean. The products are fairly priced and lower than general, which makes it always a great option to do the grocery!
