Quote: Robinson’s Place is the first mall in Bacolod City. Although new malls are being built in the city, most people still go to Robinson’s Place to shop, to meet friends and to relax. “Rob”, as locals popularly call the mall, is in the northern part of Bacolod and serves as a gateway for people from Silay City, Talisay City and other Negros city and town from the north. Robinson’s Place has a fair share of restaurants, fast food chains and coffee shops; the latest addition is Calea, which is a local pastry shop that is gaining a following from sweet lovers. Just at the main entrance, Calea greets mall goers with their own brand of cakes. At the other side of the main entrance was a doll house looking cubicle with kiddie-size Precious Moments character. Inside the stall were Precious Moments dolls of different sizes and wearing various themes. Upon entrance, a large fountain sits at the center which sometimes doubles as a stage for events. This Christmas, Barbie dolls dressed as fairies were hung over the fountain as a decoration. Families and teenagers hang out at Robinson’s Place to watch movies or play at the entertainment center. Both can be found in the 3rd floor. Robinson’s Place in Bacolod is just one of the numerous Robinson’s mall chain owned by the Gokongwei family.
