Ayala Malls is launching The Exchange at Trinoma this coming October 30, marking the next major phase of the Quezon City mall’s reinvention as a one‑stop lifestyle and mobility hub.
According to Ayala Malls Chief Operating Officer Paul Birkett, the new expansion builds on earlier mall upgrades to match how city residents live and move, making it easier to shop, dine, run errands or catch transport in a single visit — just in time for the holiday season.
The Exchange features new retail anchors including the first northern ABC‑Mart Grand Stage outlet, alongside familiar brands such as National Bookstore, Abenson, Huawei, Xiaomi, Penshoppe and GameXtreme, with additional stores set to open soon. Dining choices range from quick merienda picks to casual meals, with new additions like Kyu Kyu Ramen and Maylah Malatang plus well‑loved chains including Max’s Restaurant and Auntie Anne’s; more food concepts will follow in the coming months.
Shoppers can also take care of wellness, personal care and daily errands at tenants such as My Dentist, St. Joseph Drug and Mr. Quickie, with Thai beauty retailer Konvy joining the lineup by early 2027.
A modern commuter terminal serving 13 bus and UV Express routes will open at The Exchange by year‑end, with extra parking spaces for drivers. The upcoming Unified Grand Central Station will later connect the hub to MRT‑3, MRT‑7 and LRT‑1 lines for better city‑wide access.
As an opening long‑weekend treat, customers spending ₱1,500 at participating The Exchange stores from October 30 to November 2 will receive a personalized Trinoma Access beep card and a photobooth pass. For Ayala Malls, the launch strengthens Trinoma’s position as a key central destination for Metro Manila shoppers and commuters.
