AH Shoppers Mart

Overview

AH Shoppers Mart is a retail mall in Poblacion II, Tagbilaran City, classified by the BPTO under Malls and Department Stores. It sits inside Tagbilaran’s central commercial district, a short walk from Alta Citta Mall, Alturas Mall, and Bohol Quality Mall — four malls in one barangay, which says less about any single operator and more about Poblacion II’s role as the city’s retail core. The same blocks hold Bohol’s two largest hospitals, Governor Celestino Gallares Memorial Medical Center and Ramiro Community Hospital, which makes the mall a practical stop for anyone with business in the hospital district.

AH Shoppers Mart Inc. runs the building as a single multi-purpose venue — department store, bakery, restaurant, home goods, wet market, grocery, and fast-food counters under one roof — the consolidated format most provincial-capital malls in Bohol use, rather than the single-category anchor store more common in Manila.

That consolidated format has an economic logic behind it: a single multi-purpose building lets one operator employ bakers, wet-market stallholders, cashiers, and food-counter staff under one payroll and one lease, rather than spreading those jobs across separate small businesses. In a city the size of Tagbilaran, a handful of buildings run this way — AH Shoppers Mart among them — account for a meaningful share of formal retail employment, as distinct from the informal vendor economy at markets like Cogon or Dao. The in-house bakery counter, in keeping with pasalubong shops across the city, is a plausible place to find Boholano staples such as kalamay or rosquillos alongside standard commercial bread, though the exact product mix on offer at AH Shoppers Mart specifically hasn’t been confirmed here.

Location

Getting There

Tagbilaran City is accessible by ferry from Cebu (Pier 1 or Pier 4 in Cebu City, approx. 2 hours by fast craft) and by air from Manila via Bohol-Panglao International Airport (15 km from the city). Within Tagbilaran, the mall is reachable by tricycle from the pier or from the main bus terminal.

Practical Info

• Address: C. Marapao St, Tagbilaran City, Bohol
• Phone: (038) 411 2352
• Hours: daily, 7:30 AM – 7:30 PM
• Parking availability and total floor area weren’t confirmed in the sources checked; as a central-barangay retail building rather than a purpose-built mall complex, on-site parking is likely limited compared to Tagbilaran’s larger regional malls, so arriving by tricycle is the more practical option

What to Expect

The draw is convenience, not scale: groceries, a meal, and department-store basics in one stop rather than a separate errand to each. It functions as a neighborhood consolidation mall serving the central barangay and hospital district, not a destination retail stop on the order of Tagbilaran’s larger regional malls.
