Wilcon Depot, the Philippines’ leading retailer of home improvement and construction supplies, launched its 84th store in Guiguinto, Bulacan on Friday, January 27, 2023.
Wilcon Depot Guiguinto is the fourth location to open in the province of Bulacan which strategically located in Brgy. Tuktukan, Guiguinto and it has 8,000 square meters of selling areas.
It accommodates the most extensive product selection of high-quality trusted local and international brands ranging from tiles, sanitarywares, plumbing, furniture, home interior, building materials, hardware, electrical, appliances, and other diy items.
“As the leading home improvement and construction supply retailer, our commitment doesn’t limit us to just providing home and builders products but, at the same time, giving our valued customers an excellent shopping experience. In bringing Wilcon Depot here again in Bulacan, we recognized it as a great opportunity to continue our legacy of unparalleled services that is distinctly Wilcon” Wilcon Depot SEVP-COO Rosemarie Bosch-Ong stated during the grand opening.
The first Wilcon Depot built in Bulacan was located in the City of Baliwag in July 2010; its second and third location were in the City of San Jose Del Monte and Calumpit town in June 2020.
Among the government officials who graced the opening event was Bulacan 5th District Congressman Ambrosio Cruz Jr, Guiguinto Mayor Agatha Paula Cruz and Vice Mayor Banjo Estrella together with Wilcon valued suppliers, and industry partners that also joined the ribbon-cutting ceremony that was led by Bosch-Ong.
The grand opening celebration began with a motorcade through nearby barangays and towns announcing the store’s official launch followed by a short Holy Mass and blessing administered by Rev. Fr. Cenon Dennis Santos and Rev. Fr. Cristian Sison.
Meanwhile, Mayor Cruz thanked the management of Wilcon Depot for choosing their town to have this store as she said it will definitely generate jobs for her fellow Guiguintenyos.
“We have standing municipal ordinance giving incentives to our employers for those who will provide 100% employment and requiring a 70/30 percent Guiguinteno employees,” the mayor said.
Many residential developers have set up in the area to meet the demands of residents who are seeking more affordable houses and residences to live in that are a few hours away from Metro Manila.
Since Bulacan presents excellent prospects for home and business ventures, Wilcon Depot sees great potential in the development and growth of the community.
Ong said Wilcon Depot started in 1977 as a 60-square-meter hardware store, and is now a household name in the home and construction supply industry.

Currently the company has 18 branches in Metro Manila and 66 stores in key cities and municipalities of Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, wherein 75 are depot stores and 9 are home essentials stores.
