SUBIC BAY FREEPORT – Renowned home improvement and construction supplies retailer Wilcon Depot is set to open its ₱700-million branch in this premier freeport soon.
This was confirmed with the signing of a lease agreement between Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority chairman and administrator Eduardo Jose L. Aliño and Wilcon Depot, Inc. chairman emeritus William Belo at the SBMA’s administration building early this month.
According to the lease agreement, the branch will be located at Sampson Road, Central Business District of SBFZ, with a lot area of 5,308 square meters, including the renovation of a portion of Building 640, and the construction of a showroom.
“This is a great addition to the companies located here, with many construction companies, home builders, and other DIY enthusiasts flocking the area to buy building materials, tiles, plumbing, and other DIY items,” Aliño said.
Aliño added that the company will be hiring a total of 200 personnel for its operation which will add to the growing number of workers inside the freeport. Press release
