ANGELES CITY – The number one pizza parlor is levelling up. This time, Shakey’s moved a notch higher with its newly opened store along the MacArthur Highway in Barangay Sto. Cristo here.
Shakey’s inaugurated its newest restaurant here on Thursday with its “new concept” unveiled for the first time in the region. The new Shakey’s concept now signifies it as a “family casual dining restaurant” moving up from its old concept of a casual dining and fast food outlet. With its new concept also comes a new logo.
Shakey’s GM Jorge Ma. Q. Concepcion said, “two years ago, we started renovating Shakey’s from mere 150 square-meter stores to 1,000 square-meter restaurants to accommodate more people and provide spacious parking for customers.
“It’s not only the food, fun and the experience that we want to share to our customers but also the good memories,” he said. Concepcion also assured that the new concept, which has elevated the status of Shakey’s, has maintained its affordable prices in the menu.
He said another restaurant will soon open on December 3 under the new Shakey’s concept. Leading the inauguration were Gov. Lilia “Nanay Baby” Pineda and Mayor Edgardo Pamintuan. For her part, Pineda commended the Shakey’s management by providing overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) another venue to stay in touch with their families here.
Earlier, Concepcion said under the new concept, OFWs or any Filipinos who want to take part in birthdays, anniversaries or any other occasion in the Philippines can simply log on to the Shakey’s website (www.shakeyspizza.ph) and order pizzas or anything in the menu online which can then be delivered to their loved ones here.
He added that a new application for smart phones will soon be available for IOS and Android that will even simplify online ordering wherever you are in the world. Pineda said Pampanga has the third largest OFW population in the country at over 100,000 that provides additional revenues to the province. She also encouraged Shakey’s to join in the upcoming Pampanga Day celebrationfrom Dec. 1 to 11.
Meanwhile, Concepcion announced that Shakey’s Philippines has acquired Shakey’s International which means that the restaurant founded by Sherwood “Shakey” Johnson and Ed Plummer in Sacramento, California in 1954 is now Filipino owned.
