If there’s one thing I keep coming back to at Mercedes Bakery, it’s their “Pineapple Crumble”. Then came along the Biscocho, the Ham and Cheese buns, the Tuna buns, the Brownies, the Butterscotch, Chunky Monkey and now the Chookie, which instantly made their way to my heart.
Let me tell you, these Mercedes products are so unique, for me they are what should be known as the “New Generation of Best Pasalubong Items” from Cagayan de Oro. The brand is homegrown which would make every Kagay-anon proud.
Last April 11, 2018 – Mercedes Bakery opened their newest branch at SM City Uptown. Their Grand Opening was a star-studded one since a lot of VIP’s graced the event.
Among those present are the owners, the Mejia family, their relatives and friends, SM Supermalls executives and the press/bloggers that covered the event.
The Grand Opening started with a new activity for me which can help relieve stress known as “Laughter Yoga”. It was totally a fun exercise everybody enjoyed participating in.
After that, a priest conducted a mass and short discourse to bless the opening and the business.
When it was over, a ribbon-cutting ceremony followed which was participated by the owners; Ms. Mercedes Mejia and husband, Mr. Daniel and Mrs. Maxine Mejia, the other owners and SM Supermalls Executives including Mall Manager, Ms. Bernadette Flores.
The guests were surprised when the “Biggest Pineapple Crumble” was unveiled to which everybody was allowed to partake. You can just imagine what a treat it was for me, since it was my favorite!
Aside from the Pineapple Crumble, guests were also treated to a Mercedes Bakery, all-you-can-eat buffet serving their signature products.
The attendees were each given a Gift Certificate, allowing them to claim one dozen of chookies! The Grand Opening also had a promo which was Buy One Dozen of Chookie and Get the 2nd box for only P12!
It was such a great day as SM City Uptown welcomed their newest addition to their family. Congratulations Mercedes Bakery!
