Big Ben Celebrates 20 Years

Who remembers Texas Chicken, RACKS Restaurant, Anonymous, Library Comedy Bar, and more? It was in 1997 when Big Ben opened and became the first all in one shopping center of Lipeños until malls such as Fiesta World, Robinsons and SM came on the scene.

Big Ben Complex used to house a billiard hall, comic book stall, boutiques, food chains, and even a multiple stall of bars at the back. Now on its 20th year, Big Ben remains strong and competitive with its line of tenants. It continues to upgrade through the years with The Courtyard as their latest attraction. Very soon, J.Co Donuts and few more services will draw more patrons in the complex.

Congratulations, Big Ben Complex on your anniversary!
