Mas Mataas na Exchange Rate, Mas Gusto ng Nagre-remit na Kababayang Pinoy! Dito sa Kapamilya, Mas Mataas ang Exchange Rate Kesa sa Ibang Padalahan ng Pera!

Image
Madalas-dalas na din namin marinig sa karamihan ng mga nagpapa-remit sa Kapamilya store - ang mga comment nila na ganito, “Dapat dun kami magpapadala sa ______, pero ang baba ng palit sa kanila kaya dito na lang kami nagre-remit.”  Of course, binabanggit nila samin ang mga pangalan nung ibang remittance company pero wag na natin banggitin dito. Minsan pa nga, kahit na online padalahan, nababanggit din sa amin pero hindi naman talaga kami aware sa exchange rate ng ibang company pero dahil mismong mga kababayan na nagre-remit ng pera ang nagsasabi sa amin, wala naman dahilan para hindi kami maniwala.  Bakit? Dahil kung mas mataas ang palitan sa iba, malamang doon na lang sila magiging suki tuwing magre-remit ng pera papuntang Pilipinas. Hindi ba free namin tayo dalhin ang business natin kung saan tayo mas meron nakakatipid? Ganun kasimple lang. Sa katunayan, hindi lang sa area ng Parkdale karamihan ng suki namin, hanggang sa Etobicoke at iba pang medyo malayo na na neighborhood...

Why do our Filipino (and many Canadian) customers choose us over other money remittance companies to send money to the Philippines? Higher exchange rates , that is! In our neighborhood area and as far as Etobicoke and other neighborhoods nearby, many of our customers are happily telling us that we have one of the highest exchange rates for the US$ and CAD$ to PHP.  When Filipinos send money to the Philippines , the primary and most important factor they base their sending decision for is the exchange rate.  We at Kapamilya store was lucky to be allied as an agent to a reliable money transfer company in Canada - Atin Ito Money Remittance . The company always makes sure that their money exchange rate is higher than their competitor money transfer service business . So, if you are sending money to the Philippines and are interested in knowing the latest exchange rate for the day , just phone us at 416-534-0269 during store hours.

Love to cook Filipino food? Gain an unfair advantage from other food sellers! Have your own Filipino store!

Image
Are you selling Filipino food as a sideline? Have you seriously considered making your part-time business a permanent replacement for your boring J.O.B.? Get ahead of your competition by owning a Filipino store! Kapamilya store is looking for new owners in 2024! Yes. It’s true. We decided to let another business minded Filipino take over Kapamilya Filipino Store and Groceries. I have already announced on my Facebook account as well as at the FB Kain Tayo page our intention to turn over ownership of Kapamilya Store this year 2024.  Our lease contract ends in September and we’ll probably be out of there before October.  We’re hoping that somebody will take over the Filipino store because it’s actually a good business to own if anyone is searching for a turnkey, make-money-immediately business. And also on a personal level, we hope someone takes over because we feel bad for all the loyal customers who will be forced to go farther away just to get their regular Filipino product...

2024 - Our Last Year at Kapamilya Filipino Grocery Store

Image
This year, 2024 is our last year of owning ang running Kapamilya Filipino Grocery Store due to our lease expiring. My son intended not to renew it if the pandemic came to pass. I thought at first that our lease contract would end in December but seemingly, as we received the latest copy of our rental notice, our contract ends in September instead.  While I write this (April 2024), we were initially sending out notices that the store is being sold. We are hoping that someone who’s looking to start a Filipino store takes over because, in all honesty, I feel sorry for the regular customers we will leave behind; the Filipinos living in the neighborhood will have to go farther away to get the Filipino products that they need and to do their money remittance to the Philippines..  If I were younger, maybe in my 30’s and farther off from retirement, I would keep the store. I will even do everything to increase its visibility and add more products/offerings. Just like what I did with ...

Sa article na ito, idi-discuss ko ang experience namin ukol sa pasok ng pera sa tindahang Pilipino dito sa Canada.  Umpisahan na natin!! Magandang araw ulit mga kababayan. Nais kong i-discuss ang experience namin sa pagpapatakbo ng Filipino store business - specifically tungkol sa kung maganda ba ang kinikita ng isang tindahang Pilipino dito sa Toronto, Canada.  Sa darating na November 2023 ay magta-tatlong taon na kaming nagbi-business ng Filipino store dito sa Canada . Although bagong experience para sa amin ang magkaroon ng tindahang Pilipinong ganito, ay marami-rami na rin naman kaming natututuhan sa pagpapatakbo ng ganitong negosyo. Nao-obserbahan din namin ang pasok ng pera sa ganitong hanapbuhay. Nabanggit ko na na sa unang araw pa lamang na buksan namin ang Filipino store na ito ay mayroon na agad pumapasok na benta sa amin dahilan sa mayroon na itong mga dating mg...

Paano kami nag-start ng Filipino store business namin sa Canada?

Image
Magandang araw, mga kababayan.  Ang article na ito ay tungkol sa kung paano kami nagsimula ng business na Filipino grocery store sa Toronto, Canada. Simulan na agad natin. Ang negosyong Kapamilya Filipino grocery store namin sa Toronto, sa pagbabalik tanaw ko, ay bunga ng blessing ng Maykapal sa amin.  Bakit ko nasabi yun? Sapagkat nagsama-sama ang napakaraming incidence o mga pangyayari bago napasa-amin ang tindahang Pilipino na ito.  Kung tutuusin, ayaw ko talaga magkaron ng business na Filipino grocery store o kahit na anong tindahan na nakatali ako sa pagbabantay ng negosyo, dahil nais ko nang mag-buhay retired na kung saan malaya akong makakapunta at makaka-alis kung saan at kailan ko gusto.  Alam ko ang buhay ng mayroong tindahan dahil noong nakatira pa kami sa Kamuning ay mayroon kaming tindahan sa palengke at halos wala kaming oras sa pamamasyal sa loob ng 12 taon.  Ngunit tulad ng nasabi ko, ang Kapamilya Filipino store ay kaloob sa amin at sa palagay ...
