TAGBILARAN CITY- Puregold, giant retail chain, will soon open its another one-stop shopping convenience store in Bohol province. 

This came after Puregold team headed by its acquisition manager Lalette Alea had a courtesy call to Gov. Aris Aumentado on Monday morning, for the establishment of Puregold in the province.

Alea said they had been interested to open new branches and businesses in the province, however, a viable location was proving to be a problem.

"We're just looking for the perfect location," said Alea that they will open a branch first in Ubay town, at least 124 km from Tagbilaran City.

Ubay is a 1st class municipality with a  population of 81,799 people. As of now, Puregold is considered as the town's biggest investor. 

They are also looking forward for the establishment of another Puregold in Tagbilaran City, Jagna, Talibon, Tubigon, Carmen, Loay and Panglao. 

Alea said that if not for Aumentado they could not do business in the province known as a popular tourist destination. 

"We have the full support of the governor," Alea said.

Aumentado said Puregold's expansion in Bohol will accelerate growth and create employment opportunities and stir the local economy.

Puregold is offering a wide array of goods from groceries, apparel, household accessories and furniture at very affordable prices.

Last month, officials of SM Supermalls met Aumentado for the new construction of a mall that will bring employment opportunities to at least 3,000 Boholanos.
