Glorietta’s revamped food court reportedly sets ₱250 minimum for food

The poster noted that the stalls were not yet open “but somewhat getting there na,” adding, “Ang ganda especially the view by the window! And may I add ang lamig na ulit ng aircon ha!”

Some commenters said many of the previous vendors remained at the reopened food court.

“All stalls are not yet open but somewhat getting there na with a lot of our old faves,” one user wrote.

But in a comment, another user shared what appeared to be a Sept. 3 memorandum addressed to Troopers Glorietta tenants.

The document was purportedly issued by Tasteless Food Group, an operator of premium food courts in malls. However, the company’s website does not list Troopers among its brands.

The memorandum imposes a floor price of ₱250 on main dishes, excluding drinks, appetizers, and sides.

“Any main dish cannot go below the ₱250 floor price since we are trying to raise the average transaction value given that we are rebranding the previous Food Choices but still remain at an acceptable price point for our customers,” the alleged memo read.

The document also instructed vendors to “Kindly submit a copy of your menus to the Troopers Glorietta Marketing Team for review before implementation/launch.”

The reasons behind the apparent rebranding and pricing requirement remain unclear. However, the memorandum has raised questions about a possible change in the food court’s ownership.

The possible ownership change comes amid Glorietta’s ongoing redevelopment, with shoppers noticing more premium establishments entering the retail hub.
