foodpanda Philippines recently announced the strategic expansion of its quick-commerce (q-commerce) dark-store network, opening new 24/7 pandamart fulfillment hubs in Calamba, Laguna, and Caloocan City.
The additions bring pandamart’s total operational footprint to 23 round-the-clock fulfillment hubs across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. By expanding its dedicated dark-store infrastructure deeper into high-density residential corridors, foodpanda is optimizing its hyper-local fulfillment model, enabling 24/7 access to essentials with an average delivery time of 25 to 35 minutes while driving operational efficiencies across its supply chain.
The expansion positions foodpanda to capture a larger share of the rapidly growing Philippine e-grocery segment. Unlike traditional retail models, pandamart operates 24/7 using hyper-localized inventory management, allowing the platform to adjust stock keeping units (SKUs) based on real-time neighborhood demand patterns.

"This marks another milestone for us as we continue to adapt to our customers’ changing needs. Every new pandamart brings us closer to our goal of providing Filipinos with a more affordable, convenient, and accessible way to shop for groceries online," said Joseph Wijesekara, Director of Q-Commerce at foodpanda Philippines.
The current pandamart footprint now covers key urban centers across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao—including Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Bulacan, Pampanga, Benguet, Metro Manila, Metro Cebu, and Davao, alongside strategically positioned micro-hubs in eastern Metro Manila and the Rizal growth corridor.
Beyond logistical scaling, each new pandamart store serves as a localized economic engine, generating direct employment for warehouse fulfillment teams, driving order volume for freelance delivery partners, and creating direct-to-consumer distribution channels for local FMCG suppliers and SMEs.
To celebrate its newest openings, foodpanda is offering up to 50% off for new pandamart customers at participating stores. Customers can download the foodpanda app to find their nearest pandamart and shop for groceries anytime.
