That is depressing. My dad when he was still alive would always bring us, his family there even though it was far from our home in Bacolod. Times really have changed once again
Ayala put all their resources in Capitol Mall in Bacolod in fact some of the tenants already transferred there.. They are focus on making this a BPO Mall and retain the Supermarket. The location was put near the Ayala community subdivision and it's far away from the Talisay City Proper.
As a side note, this was my goto place during the lockdown to get spirits (remember Bacolod proper shut down sales of alchohol). It was easy for me because it seems if your on a bicycle (which I am 100% of the time), everyone just waves you through. They never checked my saddle bags to any degree if at all. I kept properly pickeled during the entire lockdown.
I remembered buying a video game at a store on the 2nd floor,eating at army/navy,and celebrating my b-day at a japanese resto, my bro used to work at one of the establishments there Sad to see what it became,only iqor and the supermarket are keeping it afloat
I don't consider it bankrupt yet coz there are still tenants operating and most especially...vacated spaces are used as BPO offices and the Metro Supermarket still caters to the homeowners of the Ayala Land Premiere Subdivisions in the area
It's kindof baffling why they put a mall there in all places. Back when it was first opened and I always feel like there's no incentive to visit the stores. Yeah sure, as someone who lives in Talisay, this is much closer than SM, Rob and Ayala Capitol but those places offer more shops. Army/Navy's like the only place I keep on coming back but they're sadly gone too
Hence it's just a District mall..To cater its Homeowners in the vicinity...we must know that Ayala has residential subdivisions there..Three markets were targeted..The budget,Middle class and high end....
This is actually like somewhat of a strip mall that shouldn't have happened but unfortunately politics got in the way and pressured Ayala to place one here OF ALL PLACES. Ayala wanted to wait for a specific area in Bacolod (which by now is doing extremely well) but this was a total bomb before it even started
ah man - missed the premier - anyway - thanks again for a great video. Ayala Northpoint has been dull drum for ages now . . . very sad - just not enough people in the area and nothing much to draw people there. They should have done like they did for new subdivisions . . .. build a McDonald's or even better a Burger King. Yes - definitely miss Army Navy Burrito and burgers. It's just too "out of the way" -ish.
I've been there a few times and it feels like the mall is too car dependent for foot traffic. You can never really take a bike or just walk going there because of how it was planned. I wish the Philippines would start redesigning its cities that would make them pedestrian friendly like Tokyo, Singapore or Dutch cities.
It’s not surprising big malls are closing down!There’s just too many around!It’s a wonder how the locals can afford the high end products with their present daily salaries.
Online shopping will hurt big business. Example, malls can't compete, nor the little man once big corporations realise, surely items will get cheaper, after this inflation easier out.
@asianight9188 ... That's true as well. But I think the main reason is that Bacolod/Silay population is too small to support a lot of malls. Especially two high-end malls. I bet Silay and Talisay residents have been going to Ayala Bacolod instead of Talisay, and why not? It's bigger, has more stores, it's newer, and it's in Bacolod. That's the mindset and culture of the locals. Once something new comes up, that's where everyone goes, until something newer and bigger and better comes up 😅
@panayfunWatchMyVideos Iba-iba naman kasi ang financial capacity or even culture ng bawat lugar. Sa Bacolod kasi, mahilig ang tao sa kung ano ang mas bago at mas sikat at the moment. Yon din ang reason kung bakit nagsara ang Gaisano mall when SM opened. Kung puro estudyante lang naman ang pumapasok, di mabubuhay ang mall. Those who actually shop would rather go to SM. Same mentality goes with Ayala Talisay. Why shop at Ayala Talisay when you can have more fun shopping at Ayala Bacolod na malapit lang din naman? Kaya ayon.
Yeah, it’s closedown one reason maybe during the Covid Pademic. They should not close the Mall because now, too many residential in that area. Like Ayala, Amaia and Avila. Which is ver convenient to the residence. Good thing that Metro Supermarket is still there. Stay safe and healthy 💪. Here’s watching OFW Kuwait.
The mall is nowhere near bankrupt. This is something to get you to watch. Alot of business did close during covid. But leading viewers on is a bit much. I shop that mall all the time. It's fine. Most of the time there is no parking available except the back where u went!!
The supermarket and call centre are doing ok, but the old mall, it is taped up like a crime scene, the shops there were always empty, it looks bankrupt to me
It's demise as a mall began way before covid. Success if a perspective. Just like the Robinson mall south of town, is it successful? Well, yes, as a call center. Was it successful as a Mall? No.
Ayala has some great plans before to even expand the place if the mall goers pick up however, giving priority to exclusive and expensive tenants was the reason why it didn't become successful, they should have put up Jollibee, Chowking, McDonald's, Burger King and other people drawer tenants and that mall should still be full of people up to now, even Felicia's, J Co and Starbucks could have still been there. What a sad ending for a supposedly community mall.
It's too damn far. The old Robinson's mall still has more people but my go to place when I'm on vacation is SM. And the only place I frequently visit in the new Ayala mall is the Coffee Bean. I went inside and I thought it's boring. Even the grocery was boring.
Is RibShack also closed? That was the last go to place for me since Army/Navy shut down. I was hoping A/N would open in Capital, but to no avail. Also, looks like Ace Hardware, one of 2 last standing in the mall proper, is gone. Correct?
Ribshack is still there. I have never eaten there, I am sure the pork there is good, but meat needs fries or veg or some side salad. I gave up eating plain rice a long time ago, meat n rice is a very dry meal
Really a shame, I liked that mall esp for the restos the boodle place and the sushi joint and my wife's fav donut shop. Seemed to be struggling by 2019, my guess is the plandemic did it in for good. If that Metro closes, I will be super bummed. Hopefully the Landers is erected before then.
@@asianight9188 I have a condo in Amaia, my wife and I come back every few years we AirBNB the condo. Should be coming back in a few months. Last time there it was Jan 2020 stuck until May. Covid hit and ruined our vacation what a mess.
Politically belongs to Talisay but geographically closer to Bacolod,Ayalas are thinking in advance.. Bacolod is growing in a fast pace...it won't take long and you'll see its expansion heading north..as u can see..there are lots of investments sprouting on both sides of the boundary of the two cities...
It's not bankrupt because there's a lot of shop still open, you can say bankrupt if it's totally closed.. The best bankrup mall is the Ayala Atria in iloilo even the supermarket there is already closed!!

Army navy's taco Tuesdays👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
This place is quiet far from the city proper.. Most would either go to SM City or Ayala Mall-Capitol instead.
Location

I wish the Philippines would start redesigning its cities that would make them pedestrian friendly like Tokyo, Singapore or Dutch cities.
I think they used to have their own transport to the city and back, but it didn't click
In 2016 this used to be my go to place and I would travel all the way from south to be at this mall during its heydays, what a pity.
Me too, I was a regular at ArmyNavy

People now shop on shoppee and Lazada, it must really hurt the malls

Disame here in the US lots of stores been closed
So sad, been there last 2015. A Hotel or a resort would be a great idea.
Might be a good investment for floor space...in 20 years.
They are renovating it to be a BPO office, my neighbor told me that the mall closed even before the pandemic happened.
It's taking a long time if that's the plan👍
Sad, but bound to happen, especially with the opening of Ayala Mall Bacolod. It was only a matter of time.
And people are shopping on line these days, it's usually cheaper and easier

The mall was too high end, they may have done better with simple stores and a jollibee 😆
It’s high end coz of the Subdivision. 😉
Tape never stopped me. I see it as a suggestion, at best.
Lol😁

It's because Talisay city has really nothing to offer. NO progress whatsoever in that city. Thus people avoided it like a plague.
Yes they hoped the expensive subdivisions around it would be it's customers

who told you, Iloilo is 10 years ahead of Bacolod... Atria mall in Iloilo is very busy now...
Batuna nalang nga bankrupt na..dalahigon mupa ya Iloilo.nyahhaha
Bankruptcy /not really zero percent but the target only 15 percent open same as big space like an empty house with just few shops around
