MANILA -- ABS-CBN’s experience and retail businesses are shutting down operations permanently by August 31, including the Studio Tours, ABS-CBN Store, Hado Pilipinas, Heroes Burger, and ABS-CBN Studio Experience.

An in-demand service since 1997, Studio Tours welcomed local and foreign audiences and conducted educational tours of the network's studios where visitors got to see behind-the-scenes exclusives in the production of various programs.

The ABS-CBN Store, meanwhile has delighted fans through the years with its huge assortment of program, celebrity and network merchandise, including the widely popular Christmas SID Shirts.

The organic chargrilled burger joint Heroes Burger, which also started in 2018, is also discontinuing its operations for good.

Another experience business of ABS-CBN, Hado Pilipinas, is also officially ending its journey just a year after it was launched.
