Was their yesterday, well laid out, lots of choice, with a vast range of quality, good addition to the area, just hope the checkout staff get up to speed quickly, took me +/- 30 mins to get through, many missing barcodes and unsure how to search. Still enjoyed and will be back soon.
Being in the province and the Pila Wilcon store being an hour away is a blessing for those looking for good quality stuff. The only thing I hate or very very dislike is the abundance of staff just waiting to herrass you and literally follow you around the store in order to "serve" you. It just gets on my nerves. I really need to tell them I am just browsing around and please don't follow me. For the rest a super store and happy they are so "close" now.
That's for sure, as they get $10 per day, but the price of goods are the same as in Australia at 'Bunnings' so they are getting great profits I'm sure🤔🤗♥️
Very expensive stuff, it would appear all top brand tools, eg; tile cutters all rubi make, nothing else nothing in between. Dewalt, top branded stuff, Milwaukee top branded stuff, Stanley, top branded tools, there are other tools but I think they must be USA, not seen them in UK or EU countries, the whole ground floor tiles, accept a phew set ups at the back, sanitary ware at the front of which the faucet holes are too big for the faucets on the basins for single faucet's that is. Kitchen sinks, what they got? Franke, that is all I saw, I can buy the same sink in the UK cheaper. This shop is not for the ordinary, every day Filipino, you have to have a good income to shop here, I wonder some times how they stay in business, and I agree about the shop assistants, they are like ants stalking their prey, I asked one about some plumbing items, he couldn't answer me because it was not his department and the person whose department it is, was not in, what can I say. I bought my tile cutter from lazada INGCO brand and my circular saw, well pleased with the brand and cost. Only shop at Wilcon if you have no other choice or a good disposable income.
That's the new one with the recent grand opening 👍
Sure is opened on last Friday 4th November 👍

I spent two hours there checking it out, amazing range of tiles, a great variety of tools too🤗♥️
Hmm.. Some name brands there. Wonder if they are the same ones we buy?
Probably cheap knock off lines under licence

Erik I too don't like the following around by the staff but it's their job the same in all Asia🤔🤗♥️
@@abritishexpatinthephilippines I know but it is so obvious at Wilcon. And so many people to help you. Labor costs are no issue it seems
