The Lucky 99 Store

Lucky 99

Lucky 99

There are a bunch of stores suddenly popping up in Cadiz City. First we have a slew of the old reliable stores, then the invasion of the Korean Owned stores popped up.

Now there is a new store I heard is owned by a Cadiznon. The name of the store is Lucky 99. Ther is a new store also of the same type here called the Novo Store, and there is another one called Hanson. This post however is more aimed at the Lucky 99 store.

The catch is that most of their item prices are either priced at 99 Pesos, (roughly 2USD) and some other items containing the number 99 in them like 199 Pants and 29.99 table ware. The store official color I assume is Yellow, as the sales ladies uniform are in yellow and so is the general theme of the store, wall paint, racks and tags are all in yellow.

Dana’s Petshop the Story

Dana's Pethshop

Dana's Petshop

I asked for the History of Dana’s Petshop here in Cadiz where I am a customer as well. I had them construct a pond and have bought a few fishes from them as well, the following interview was done with the owner Vincent Ybañez.

History of Dana’s Pet shop:

Back in June 6, 2006 Vincent Ybañez opened a small fish pet shop named MIJA FISH SHOP. He only sold 9 kinds of fishes which were carps, comets, gold fish, angel fish, janitor fish, fighting fish, hammerhead sharks, rainbow shark, and cichlids, which I may say is a small variety. It was really a small business that started from a hobby by Vincent. The small things he learned running a small pet shop helped him think of a bigger future. He continuously operates the small pet shop for 3 years. In 2009 there was a little problem that he encountered; He didn’t have someone to watch over his shop. In short he said “wala ko alalay”, since he went to college. That is why he decided to temporarily close his beloved pet shop.

In November of 2009, Vincent decided to open the pet shop business again with his then girlfriend now wife Catherine. They decided to start a medium scale Continue reading

Where to get Dried Fish in Cadiz

Uga

Where to get Dried Fish

Imagine the mummies of Egypt? The Uga (Dried Fish) is a result of Cadiznon’s trying to preserve their catch from the sea. Many businessmen from Cadiz got rich because of the humble fish caught in Cadiz. To preserve them for a much longer time, old Cadiznon’s tried to use the salt and sun to dry up and preserve the fish. In it’s later versions, it was already sold also in other preservation methods like “Fish Tocino” and Sardines.

Tourists Buy Dried Fish

A common “Pasalubong” when you go to Cadiz, you can get the “Uga” and other fish produce at where locals call as “Punta”, it is actually Punta Cabahug Street, Barangay Zone 6. You can just ask the Tricycle driver to drive you to “Punta” to get some “Uga” that’s how easy it is to get them. Just make sure you haggle for prices as there are plenty of stalls there selling the same or similar products.
