GMarket Now Available on foodpanda Shops for Faster Digital Shopping

For many Dabawenyos, Gaisano Market (GMarket) has been an integral part of daily life for almost thirty years. The local supermarket is now branching out beyond its physical locations by joining foodpanda Shops, providing consumers with an additional avenue to shop for groceries and household necessities.

Combining foodpanda's technology and delivery network with GMarket's established presence in Davao, the launch represents GMarket's first foray into app-based grocery delivery. The partnership gives Davaoeños another easy way to shop as more Filipinos incorporate online grocery shopping into their daily routines.

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, Marketing Manager at GMarket, 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."

Johannah Ranera, a Ka-panda rider, was chosen at random to receive GMarket's ceremonial first order in honor of the launch. Ranera was shocked to discover that the groceries were a gift from foodpanda and GMarket, an expression of gratitude for the riders who assist in delivering daily necessities to clients throughout Davao. She had anticipated a routine pickup.

foodpanda's efforts to expand its grocery marketplace by adding more reputable local retailers to the platform are furthered by the addition of GMarket. With launch promotions accessible on the app, customers in Davao can now peruse and purchase GMarket's groceries and household necessities through foodpanda Shops.
