They opened their first outlet in April of 1995, in SM City Manila, and still remember the day well. They hadn’t slept for days preparing for this big day. Little did they know there were many sleepless nights to follow. Lines formed out the door and the Nacho King! household name was born.

Today Nacho King! is a chain of kiosks that has taken snack lovers by storm and is the leading retailer and wholesaler of nachos in the country. Our kiosks can be found in department stores, supermarkets, and schools and our products can be sourced wholesale through our company Emyth, Inc.

Since the first branch opened in 1995, its has grown up to several hundered outlets nationwide. Today, having become a Filipino household name, we are gearing ourselves toward not just rapid expansion in the Philippines (through Franchising) but also in neighboring countries.

The Ninety Nine Peso Store opened its first store in August 1993 at the Tutuban Center in Divisoria. The concept of the store was and always will be, to sell a broad variety of merchandise at one price point – Ninety Nine Pesos (99).

Thus the name Ninety Nine Peso Store. The only store where the store name is the brand and the brand is the price. The concept proved to be hit in the market, while our customer base expanded brought about by the consumers need to purchase good merchandising, with great service, at an affordable price.

The 99Peso Rolling Store, featured in the Philippine Franchise Association exhibit at the World Trade Center, is a custom-built L300 van retrofitted with retail operations implements such as display shelves and swing-out full side openings. It enables store operators to bring the 99Peso Store merchandise directly to the market, to serve customers who live far from traditional malls and town centers.

Says Eric Teng, 99 Peso Store marketing head, “99Peso Store has always been about high value for money, giving customers quality products they want and need at the single, affordable price of P99 whether they be backpacks, apparel, desk clocks or the like. With the 99 Peso Rolling Store being franchised, entrepreneurs have an even better chance to reach out to their clients with no store renovation costs, low overhead and more efficient use of their manpower and other resources.”

The 99 Peso Rolling Store’s design is in itself a cost-efficient marketing tool since it serves as a full-sized rolling billboard when it travels to locations or even when it is parked.

THE 99 PESO ROLLING STORE

• L300 Custom Built as rolling store
• Mobility / Flexible location
• No Renovation Cost
• Low Overhead
• Efficient use of Manpower
• Ideal for special Events / Holidays
• Rolling Billboard
• Use of nationality recognizable brand with strong brand support

California Pizza Kitchen — three words that comprise a household name in first-class West Coast cuisine, fine dining, and filial values. Seven years ago, we witnessed the breakthrough of gourmet pizzerias in Manila when the first CPK restaurant opened its glass doors in Glorietta.

CPK has been known for its good customer service, snappy servers and hosts, reception, and utility staff. It constantly reinvents itself, from cuisine to marketing, putting it at the forefront of customer service.

Its famous yellow-and-black interior has become a trademark since 1985. It is a mark of its influence that pizza parlors, which came after CPK, have tried to simulate the design in one form or another.

It is also known for the CPKids Menu that appeals to the younger diners, encouraging children to “try something new”. This allows the resto to reach out to casual diners, whether you’re in for food adventure, merienda, liquor, or tea and pie with friends.

To date, the premium pizza chain has 150 full-service restos in over 27 US states, including Washington, California, and Hawaii.

It was in 1984 when I responded to a need, for people to move on, who were then reeling from the financial setbacks that characterized those times. Starting with just 2 hectares in Las Pinas, I gave people a chance to start all over again.* Many years after, I began to expand my reach, opening one in Cebu in 2003, followed by Cagayan De Oro in 2008, and Zamboanga in 2009. Through all those years, and even up to now, I see to it that my parks serve as a sanctuary, a final refuge. I work hard to make my parks beautiful, and strive to preserve them, as a fitting memorial to a departed loved one. And provide the calm and acceptance that people who are left behind yearn for. My parks are lush with verdant greens and manicured lawns on rolling terrains. Dotted with acacia trees that bask in the warmth of the sun. With magnificent statuaries that inspire, that bring hope. For a quiet solitude that comforts, for the peace that remembering brings. I am Golden Haven. *During those times, the real estate market was down. And instead of letting go of its people, my founder, who by then had a growing housing and real estate development business, decided to open a 2-hectare memorial park in Las Pinas. It was far easier to sell a small burial plot than a house and lot.

I am filled with moving stories of people, of family and friends, of rich and poor alike, who desire to be laid to rest in the most beautiful memorial park their eyes have seen. Of wishes that I be made their final resting place made true. Of young people who desire to honor their parents. To preserve their memory. I am enduring. I am Golden Haven. I believe in a person’s right to be laid to rest in a place that gives honor and dignity. And so I feel for those who, despite having so little in life, still chose me to be their final resting place. For I am Golden Haven. I am the legacy that people desire to have. I am memories preserved for a lifetime. I am the solitude that one seeks. I am endearing. I am enduring. I am the most beautiful memorial park.
