PC Express (often called PCX) began in the Philippines in 1996, founded by a group of tech enthusiasts who saw a growing demand for personal computers, IT solutions, and gaming equipment in the local market. At that time, computers were still a luxury for many households and businesses, and finding quality hardware, software, or accessories was a challenge. The founders wanted to create a one-stop shop for technology, where customers could not only buy PCs, laptops, and peripherals but also receive expert advice and after-sales support. Their vision was to make technology more accessible to students, professionals, and small businesses while keeping quality and service standards high. PC Express started as a small retail shop, but with the rise of computer gaming, e-learning, and office automation in the early 2000s, the store expanded rapidly. They introduced gaming PCs, high-performance components, and custom-built rigs, appealing to a new generation of gamers. Over the years, PC Express evolved into a nationwide network of branches in major malls, including Cyberzones in SM Supermalls. Today, it is known not just for selling computers but also for being a trusted tech partner, offering genuine products, reliable customer service, and occasional tech events or workshops to educate the community. The brand’s story reflects the growth of personal computing in the Philippines: from a niche hobby to an integral part of education, business, and gaming culture.
