ABOUT US
NIC’S started as a commissary established by Maggie and Rina Go in 2001. Nicole is the name of Rina’s first daughter after which the company was named. The single mom sought to create a business she could pass on to her children.
Specialties such as classic desserts borne out of homemade, family tested recipes gave them the confidence to their products, Maggie provided the first recipes she kept from the 70’s which were popular amongst her peers and family. Hence the ingredients are neither commercial nor compromised. Placing customer satisfaction as priority, fresh produce and tested recipes are used to ensure quality, taste, and aesthetics.
The company primarily provided Dessert, Breads, Pasta, & Salad to coffee shops, restaurants, hotels, hospitals, and food-chains at wholesale prices. Specific food items were provided upon the direction of the client.
NIC’S has also participated in “by invitation only” food halls and bazaars. Its wide acceptability for products such as the Parmesan Wheat Crisps, Parmesan Ensaymada, and Lasagna showed a need for high quality food that was easy to stock up on and reheat. This continuous encouragement led the owners to come up with its first retail outlet NIC’S. The showcase would provide them a platform to strut hip unique products like Oatmeal Fudge Bars , and the Dip-n Toss line of bottled sauces.
To date, NIC’S has won 6 BEST DESSERTS awards from The Philippine Daily Inquirer.
