2GO, the Philippines’ most integrated logistics and travel solutions provider, has unveiled the newly renovated 2GO Escolta Branch at the ground floor of AIC Center along Escolta Street, Binondo, Manila. The branch remained fully operational throughout the renovation, ensuring uninterrupted service while the space was upgraded to meet the growing demand for travel, cargo, and express services in one of the country’s most historic commercial districts.
The revamp introduces a milestone for the company: the first 2GO retail outlet to feature Cafe 2GO, the company’s fully owned and branded café concept previously exclusive to its vessels. By bringing Cafe 2GO to a ground-based retail setting, customers now enjoy a more comfortable and inviting environment—ideal for waiting, meeting, or conducting business while completing transactions.
Complementing the customer-facing upgrades is a dedicated Cafe 2GO Training Room, designed to support employee onboarding, skills development, and continuous learning. The facility will serve as a central venue for barista training and capability-building programs across 2GO’s expanding retail network, reinforcing service quality and operational excellence.
The upgraded Escolta branch also functions as a meeting and collaboration hub, providing customers, MSMEs, and partners a convenient space to discuss logistics requirements, coordinate shipments, and make business decisions while accessing 2GO’s integrated services.
“Cafe 2GO was created to elevate the overall travel experience of our customers, and bringing it into a retail environment allows us to extend that same experience on the ground,” said Roland Sunga, Assistant Vice President for Food and Beverage, Ancillary, and Hotel Operations of 2GO Travel. “The dedicated training space enables us to continuously develop our baristas, refine our offerings, and ensure consistent quality across all touchpoints.”
Strategically located in the heart of Binondo, the Escolta branch plays a vital role in supporting trade and MSMEs by facilitating the efficient movement of goods such as machinery, spare parts, textiles, and wholesale merchandise across cities and regions nationwide.
“This renovated location is more than a retail branch—it is a hub for MSME growth,” said Blessie Cruz, Business Unit Head of 2GO Retail. “Through this space, the introduction of Cafe 2GO, and our enhanced facilities, we aim to elevate the customer experience while creating more opportunities for the communities we serve.”
