DAVAO
CITY, Philippines, July 28, 2026—For nearly three decades, Gaisano Market
(GMarket) has been part of everyday life for many Dabawenyos. Now, the
homegrown supermarket is expanding beyond its physical stores as it joins
foodpanda Shops, giving customers another way to shop for groceries and
household essentials.
The
launch marks GMarket's first entry into app-based grocery delivery, combining
the retailer's long-standing presence in Davao with foodpanda's technology and
delivery network. As online grocery shopping becomes part of more Filipinos'
everyday routines, the collaboration offers Davaoeños another convenient way to
shop.
"Davao
is a thriving hub for digital adoption, and bringing a trusted household name
like GMarket onto foodpanda Shops is a game-changer for local shoppers,” said
Joseph Wijesekera, Director of Q-Commerce at foodpanda Philippines. “We aren't
just delivering groceries—we're making everyday living simpler and more
affordable by connecting Davaoeños to the local brands they’ve relied on for
generations."
Echoing this
commitment to serving local families, Patricia Gaisano, GMarket Business Unit Head, added, "For us, joining foodpanda is about meeting our customers
wherever they are. Many of the families who have shopped with GMarket for years
are now looking for more flexible ways to buy their groceries, and foodpanda
allows us to serve them with the same reliability they know and love."
To commemorate the
launch, GMarket fulfilled its ceremonial first order, which was randomly
assigned to Ka-panda rider Johannah Ranera. Expecting a routine pickup, Ranera
was surprised to learn that the groceries were actually a gift from foodpanda
and GMarket—a gesture of appreciation for the riders who help bring everyday
essentials to customers across Davao.
The
addition of GMarket continues foodpanda's efforts to grow its grocery
marketplace by bringing more established local retailers onto the platform.
Customers across Davao can now browse and order GMarket's groceries and
household essentials through foodpanda Shops, with launch promotions available
on the app.
