Automatic Centre is a appliance and electronics retail store chain in the Philippines.[1] Started in 1948 by Benito Lim, the store chain has grown to maintaining multiple outlets in Metro Manila.

History

Automatic Centre was established by Benito Lim in 1948.[2] It was a family business by the Lims, with sons Wilson and Samie founding Abensons and Blims Fine Furniture. Automatic Centre was managed under Automatic Appliances Inc. (AAI).[3]

The chain shutdown all of its stores on October 10, 2021 due to losses caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.[4][5] The Lim family has sought third parties interested to take over the Automatic Centre brand which had about 20 stores in Metro Manila at the time of its closure.[2]

However by October 2022, Automatic Centre has reopened 19 of its stores with an updated brand logo.[6]
