CONFIDENT in the potential of the Davao market, Roxy Philippines set up its second and the biggest store in the country, at SM City Davao Annex, touted as the hippest mall in town.

"Davao is very promising and the market is still growing," Roxy brand manager Dino Gilladoga said Thursday in a media briefing.

He said there are even more Roxy merchandise being offered at Roxy's store in the city. Roxy merchandise is also available at Quicksilver store at Abreeza Mall and Chimes Specialty Store.

Since its inception in 1990, Gilladoga said Roxy has grown to be a large high-end brand for young women. In addition to apparel, the brand also provides accessories, home items, hard goods for wakeboarding and surf, wetsuits, footwear, accessories, bags and several other product categories.
