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!

J.Co Donuts to open in Bigben Lipa

The long waited J.Co Donuts and Coffee shop is expected to open in Big Ben complex by December. It will occupy the former Western Union office extending beside Le Manays.

The latest addition to cafe and donut retail restaurants in Big Ben will be another first for Lipa and Batangas. This donut brand from Indonesia has successfully penetrated the Philippines in 2012 and has been consistent in the wishlist of the Lipenos. They also have branches in Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia.

The brand is also known for their high quality toppings and fillings such as toasted almonds, premium dark and white chocolate, matcha, and other ingredients.
