The food parks are located in Festival Mall Alabang in Muntinlupa and Filinvest’s Fora Mall Tagaytay that opens in September, the company said.
Mercato Centrale at Festival Mall Alabang operates from 4pm to 10pm, Thursdays to Sundays through end of the year. Its food park in Tagaytay will open for business on 4 September through 31 March next year.
