2 minutes readIt’s a sad time for fans of Cebu’s cherished Islander Factory Outlet as the iconic store gets ready to shut down for good on January 1, 2024. The brand shared this heartbreaking news on their official Facebook page, revealing that they haven’t been taking any orders or making footwear since March 2020. This closure marks the end of an era for a brand that held a special place in the hearts of many.
For those who love Islander footwear, there’s a chance to grab a piece of their collection before the final closure. The outlet in Tungkop, Minglanilla, Cebu, will remain open until December 31, 2023. This gives fans an opportunity to buy their favorite Islander shoes one last time.
In a heartfelt message posted on their Facebook page, Islander Factory Outlet expressed deep gratitude to everyone who had been a part of their journey. They thanked their employees, customers, supporters, and families for their unwavering support over the years. The message was filled with appreciation for the shared experiences and the strong bond between the brand and its patrons.
“To all who worked with us, patronized us, shared with us, laughed and cried with us, persevered and believed in us—our friends, colleagues, families—thank you, thank you so much,” read the emotional message from Islander Factory Outlet’s Facebook page.
However, there’s a glimmer of hope amid this sad news. Islander Footwear Manufacturing Corporation (IFMC), the parent company, clarified that only the outlet is closing, not the entire company. This distinction leaves room for potential future endeavors or developments under the Islander brand, hinting at possibilities that lie ahead.
As the Islander Factory Outlet prepares to close its doors, it marks the end of a significant chapter in the brand’s history—but not the end of its story. The legacy of Islander’s top-notch craftsmanship, stylish designs, and the fond memories associated with its shoes will live on in the hearts of its loyal customers. This closure is just a turning point, not the final chapter.
For now, fans and supporters have a limited time to grab a piece of Islander’s history, bidding a heartfelt farewell to a store that has been a cornerstone of Cebu’s footwear scene. The memories made with Islander’s shoes will endure, ensuring that the spirit of this beloved brand stays alive in the hearts of many.
