Automatic Centre is the pioneer in appliance and electronics retailing in the Philippines.〔 〕 Started in 1948 by Benito Lim, the company has grown from a single store to a multiple store and multiple format retail operation, including upscale furniture retailer (Blims Fine Furniture ). ==History== Prior to the Japanese occupation of the Philippines, the Lim was family engaged in the furniture business, with three of the biggest furniture stores in the Philippines then. The businesses, however, had to be closed down due to World War II, and a buy-and-sell frenzy took over. Mr. Benito Lim, then already an enterprising and perceptive young businessman, began trading in the basic necessities: toothpaste, toilet paper, soap, clothespins, and such other household items. All this hard work, however, was razed down to the ground with the coming of the American Liberation Forces. The young Lim, however, was not one to stay down. He put up another store, a wine shop called Esquire Wine Dealer that catered to the GIs who roamed the ravaged streets of Manila. But the Americans soon pulled out and demand for whiskey declined. The 24-year-old Lim then set up an electrical supplies store, which was to be the foundation of Automatic Centre.
