· Mila's began in 1986 as a small neighborhood shop (sari-sari store) run by Milagros "Mila" Gomez and her husband in Barangay Sto. Domingo, Angeles. Starting with just 4 customers, it built its name by word of mouth over 40 years, The Voice reported.

■ Tips for residents and travelers
· The main Mila's branch is on San Andres Street in Angeles and is open daily from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. (The Voice).
