ANGELES CITY, PAMPANGA - Angeles City's vibrant culinary scene has welcomed another major upgrade as local staple Giada's Bakeshop officially opened its newest branch in one of the city's rapidly rising commercial districts. Known among locals for balancing top-tier quality with highly affordable pricing, the homegrown brand's expansion marks a significant step forward for the city's post-pandemic micro, small, and medium enterprise (MSME) sector. The high-profile grand opening was held at The Infinity commercial complex, located in Barangay Pulung Maragul, Angeles City.
Elevating Homegrown Flavors
The milestone launch was a personal victory for Giada's founder, Ma'am Chie Lozano, who received widespread praise from local leaders for her steadfast dedication to serving the community. Local food enthusiasts have consistently championed the bakery for its premium pastry lineups that remain highly accessible to working-class Filipino families. Among its diverse offerings, the establishment's signature Egg Pie continues to stand out as a viral, crowd-favorite bestseller—celebrated for its rich, velvety custard filling and perfectly flaky crust. The new branch at The Infinity brings these beloved treats closer to residents and workers in one of Angeles City's fastest-growing commercial hubs, making it easier for more Kapampangans to enjoy the bakery's signature offerings.
Supporting Local Entrepreneurs and the Community
Leading the celebratory ribbon-cutting ceremony were Department of Transportation (DOTr) Assistant Secretary Asec. IC Calaguas alongside regional representatives who joined the event on behalf of Pampanga 1st District Representative Congressman Carmelo "Pogi" Lazatin Jr. Local officials used the ribbon-cutting event to issue a strong call to action, encouraging the public to continuously support native brands and homegrown entrepreneurs. By expanding into strategic commercial zones like The Infinity, Giada's Bakeshop not only brings its celebrated comfort foods closer to a wider base of consumers but also actively stimulates the local economy by creating fresh employment opportunities for Angeleneños. This expansion reflects the resilience and growth of Angeles City's MSME sector, which continues to thrive and contribute to the city's economic development.
