Joel’s Place, the innovative culinary hub blending modern grocery, specialty store, and restaurant, officially welcomed food enthusiasts early this month. This unique establishment, nestled at The Proscenium Retail Row in Rockwell, is a delightful blend of a modern grocery, a specialty store, and a restaurant, creating a vibrant new lifestyle food hub.

A Fresh Take on Dining and Shopping

Founders Donnie Tantoco & Christopher Tantoco

The inception of Joel’s Place stems from a desire to craft an unparalleled retail experience, one that harmonizes discovery, learning, and sensory delight. It stands as a contemporary ‘grocerant’ – a fusion term that encapsulates its unique identity, combining the convenience of a grocery store with the charm of a restaurant.

It aims to be a place that ignites discovery, enriches the senses, and provides nourishment for the mind, body, and soul. The concept is a response to an increasing desire for spaces that offer a blend of practicality and pleasure, wrapped in a contemporary Filipino atmosphere.
