Power Mac Center (PMC) opened its first Apple Premium Partner store in the Visayas at SM City Iloilo, expanding its retail presence outside Luzon and NCR.

The new store brings together Apple retail, service, and training in one location. Apple Premium Partner stores follow a minimalist and modern design similar to Apple Stores. In the Philippines, PMC is currently the only authorized retailer allowed to open this store format.

“Opening an Apple Premium Partner store in the Visayas marks an important step in how we serve customers,” said Joey Alvarez, director for Marketing and Product Management of Power Mac Center. “Through this new hub, we aim to build a stronger and more connected community of Apple users who put technology to good use, not only in Iloilo but across the region.”

PMC said the new store also supports local communities by creating jobs and offering career opportunities. With retail, training, and service combined in one space, the company said it provides more roles for local talent while contributing to the local economy.

The company also positions the store as a support hub for organizations and schools adopting the Apple ecosystem. Power Mac Center operates as an Apple Premium Partner, Apple Premium Reseller, Apple Authorized Education Reseller, Apple Authorized Service Provider, and Apple Professional Learning Provider. These roles allow it to offer sales support, technical service, and training to businesses, schools, and institutions across Iloilo and the Visayas.
