Chris, yes, I got the same call and I hope it is just as good as the original Pricesmart. I hope they can make it a success this time around… I will be there the first week it opens and will try and put a post for Marketmanila readers. Just in time for Christmas I hope someone gets its act together!!!

Marketman, I got a call from the new (presumably) manager of pricesmart at the Fort. She told me that they are reopening in October under a new management. Apparently the owner of Puregold has bought Pricesmart (Lucio Co, I think). She promised that the new hypermart will have the same concept and product mix as the old one. And she used the name Pricesmart so I guess they won’t be rebranding it to Puregold…

Millet, you are brilliant! You should buy it all up and resell it in Manila. If mangosteen fruit weren’t so darned expensive here I would experiment with making the jam…

bob, you’re right..am so peeved about the missing holy kettle corn at sm-davao. MM, i’ve asked someone at the lorenzo farms to call me when the jam is available. that should be anytime soon, since mangosteen season here is just a few weeks away (as well as durian, rambutan, marang, etc.
