MISTER LABADA

By Wein P. Gadian

Have you ever experienced having a stain in your favorite cotton shirt? Or an ink blot on your linen pants? In a circumstance where you had to dig a five-year-old Filipiniana gown from the old chest and had to wear it the next day? Well we may somehow relate to these and what did we do?

Some may ask a laundry lady to do it for us. Or run to the nearest laundry shop but sometimes “ dyahe sa sked. ”

Now there is no need to worry about laundry even with our busy lifestyle. Mister Labada is there for all our fabric care requirements. Its first branch at Delgado Street has proven quality service to clients since November 1998.

It is the first and the only laundry shop equipped with a dry Cleaning Machine. It has its own Laundry Plant set with the latest industrial laundry equipment for more efficient service. You can choose from wash-dry, wash–dry press or any service that will suit your needs.

A well-trained staff is there to make possible all your fabric care and laundry wishes. Mr. Labada accepts laundry volumes from hotels, parlors, spas, bars and restaurants. It is also open to walk-in clients according to his or her requests.

Mr. Labada also has services that cater to all kinds of school uniforms and those ‘hard to wash' theatre costumes. It can accommodate your carpet and leathers. Should there be rush needs for your Organza Barong or Piña cloth dresses. The friendly staff will be there to aide you for a minimal fee. You can also avail 20% discount for a membership fee of P200 renewable annually for P100.

Other than these services, Mister Labada is also a proud member of International Fabricare Institute. So you can be sure your clothes will be well taken cared of.

For all your laundry and cleaning services, visit any of Mr. Labada branches. You can drop by Delgado branch 8am – 7pm from Monday to Saturday. Or bring along your laundry before you shop either at SM City branch from 10am-9pm or Atrium Mall branch from 9am – 8pm. SM City and Atrium Mall branches are open Monday to Sunday.

And if you live within the city, you can dial 509-3777 for pick-up and delivery for only a minimum of 5 kilos. Check their website at www.mrlabada.com.

Mister Labada is also open for franchise. It has opened its first franchise in Bacolod City last 2002 and will be opening another in Dumaguete this July 8.
