AH Shoppers Mart

Overview

AH Shoppers Mart in Trinidad is the first shopping mall to open in the municipality, inaugurated on July 31, 2023. The facility was developed as a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) between the Local Government Unit (LGU) of Trinidad and the AH Shoppers operator, initiated during the administration of former Mayor Judith del Rosario Cajes. The LGU owns the 2,000-square-metre land parcel, which it leases to AH Shoppers under a 25-year contract.

The mall is situated within the Trinidad Business Park in Lipata, Barangay Guinobatan, making it part of a planned commercial node in this inland municipality of northern Bohol. Before its opening, residents of Trinidad had to travel to neighbouring towns for daily goods and services — the mall functions as a one-stop retail destination covering fresh food, fruits, vegetables, kitchenware, school supplies, and garments. As of 2023, the sitting mayor was Atty. Roberto C. Cajes, Ph.D., who succeeded former Mayor Judith del Rosario Cajes (who initiated the PPP project).

Location

Barangay Guinobatan, Trinidad, Bohol. Trinidad is an inland municipality in the northern part of Bohol, approximately 65–70 km from Tagbilaran City by road and roughly 25 km from Talibon, the main northern gateway.

Getting There

From Tagbilaran City, take a bus or jeepney to Trinidad via the national highway (approx. 2–2.5 hours). From Talibon, a jeepney or habal-habal to Trinidad takes approximately 45 minutes. The mall is at the Trinidad Business Park in Barangay Guinobatan, accessible from the town centre.

Practical Info

The mall operates for day commerce. [FACT NEEDED: specific operating hours not confirmed beyond day-use function.] The lease structure (25-year term, 2,000 sqm LGU-owned land) indicates a long-term fixture in the town’s commercial landscape. No corkage or external food restrictions noted in the source record.

What to Expect

A single-building retail facility with fresh food wet market sections alongside dry goods, garments, and household supplies. The scale is municipal rather than regional — practical for residents and travellers passing through Trinidad, rather than a destination shopping experience. The adjoining Trinidad Business Park and Food Hub are nearby references for orientation.
