Company Profile:
Opened on November 2002, Ormoc Cellworks started as a one-kiosk
operation in a strip mall in Ormoc City. Their strength then was
a beefed up inventory of more than sixty live cellphone models to
select from. Four years after, it has grown into 10 branches scattered
in key cities in the island of Leyte and Biliran.
On September 2006, in line with their new mission to offer a complete
digital experience for their customers, they widened their product
offerings, changed the look and feel of their shops, invested in
heavy training, and changed their name to Cellworks Digital Entertainment.
