SM Supermalls, or simply SM, is a chain of shopping malls owned by the Philippines-based SM Prime. As of May 2024, it has a total of 96 malls (88 in the Philippines and 8 in China). It was formerly known as Shoemart.

History

SM Supermalls was pioneered by Henry Sy, a Chinese-Filipino businessman whose roots traces back to Fujian. Sy opened his first shoe store in Quiapo in 1948 and later the first store under the Shoemart (SM) name in 1958 along Carriedo.[1] In 1972, Shoemart turned into a full-line department store.[2]

In 1985, the company ventured into the supermarket and home appliance store business. It opened the first "Supermall" in the same year named SM North EDSA in Quezon City.[3]

SM expanded abroad with the opening of its first branch in China in 2001. The mall is SM City Xiamen in Fujian.[4]

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the company's revenue was down nearly 50% in 2020, though it claims to have maintained a healthy occupancy rate throughout the pandemic.[5]

Locations

Currently, there are 88 shopping malls in the Philippines managed by SM Supermalls, including the latest addition, SM City Caloocan, which opened on May 17, 2024.[6] It also has eight malls in China, including the most recent mall, SM City Yangzhou, which opened on September 29, 2023.[7] SM North EDSA in Quezon City, SM Mall of Asia in Pasay, SM Megamall in Mandaluyong, and SM Seaside City in Cebu City are among the largest in the Philippines.[8]

Tenants and amenities

SM Cinema

SM Cinema is the movie theater chain of SM Supermalls.

SM Cinema is also responsible for some milestones in the Philippine film industry.

SM Cinema offers premium cinema experience called "Director's Club", which features Ferco Verona leather-recliner-seating (on new and renovated branches) and butler service,[62] and offers eight IMAX theaters including the first IMAX theater in the Philippines at the SM Mall of Asia. This IMAX theater, opened in 2006, initially had a capacity of 635 seats (reduced to 490+ seats after renovation and Ferco Paragon 918 seating upgrade in 2019) and a screen height of 21.955m (72.031feet), making it the largest cinema screen in the country.[63] [64]

There are no cinemas at some SM Center branches such as Pasig, Las Piñas, Dagupan, and San Pedro.

The first drive-in theater in the Philippines was opened under the SM Cinema brand in July 2020 at SM City Pampanga.[65]

There is a policy in place since 2002, which dictates the non-airing of films rated R-18 in SM Cinemas.[66]

SM Store

The SM Store is the department store chain of SM Supermalls. The first outlet was established in 1972 along Carriedo in Quiapo, Manila, when Shoemart store was converted into a full-fledged department store.[2] It was renamed as the SM Department Store in 1975[67] prior to being rebranded as "SM Store". The SM Store would become one of SM Supermall's common anchor tenant.[2]

SM Skating

SM Skating is SM's indoor ice rink chain. The first rink opened at SM Megamall in 1992 which later closed in 2009, but has since reopened in 2014 at another space.[68] It also has branches at SM Mall of Asia[69] and SM Seaside City, and there used to be one at SM Southmall as well.[70]

Recreation

SM Bowling Center is SM's bowling alley chain. The first branch opened in 1989 at SM North EDSA, which reopened in 2009 at another space at the same Annex 2 building.[71] Other branches are at SM Megamall, SM North EDSA, SM City Clark, SM City Cebu, SM Seaside City, and SM Lanang.[72] Former branches at SM Southmall, SM City Fairview, SM CDO Downtown, and SM Mall of Asia have been transitioned to SM Game Park, and there was also a branch at SM City Valenzuela.[73]

SM Game Park is a recreational and entertainment facility offering sports amenities (such as bowling, billiards, basketball, table tennis, and archery, varying by branch), a game room, arcades, karaoke, and a sports bar. The first branch opened at SM Southmall on December 10, 2021.[74] The flagship branch is located at SM Mall of Asia.[75] [76] Other branches are located at SM City Fairview, SM CDO Downtown, and SM City Santa Rosa.[77]

Supermarkets

See main article: SM Retail. Every SM Supermall features a supermarket chains such as SM Supermarket, SM Hypermarket, and Savemore Market, collectively known as SM Markets, as anchor tenant. Most SM Supermalls house one of these brands, while some malls (including SM City Fairview and SM North EDSA) have both SM Supermarket and SM Hypermarket coexisting. Some standalone SM Hypermarkets, Supermarkets, and Savemore are operated by SM Supermalls.

SM Cyberzone

SM Cyberzone is SM's chain of IT retail stores, featuring gadget and technology retailers, concept stores of electronic brands, and telecommunications providers in dedicated areas inside SM Supermalls.[78] It is also recognized as a hub for significant gaming and technology-related events. It originated as a lifestyle store in SM North EDSA's Carpark Building in 1998 before being rebranded to its current name.[79]

Catholic churches

In the Philippines, a predominantly Roman Catholic country, SM Supermall branches such as SM Aura, SM Megamall, SM North EDSA, and SM City Grand Central each feature a Catholic chapel within the mall building.[80] In contrast, mall complexes such as SM Mall of Asia and SM Seaside City each have a separate church building. Masses are also held at other branches in their atrium, cinema, entrance, or SM Cyberzone branch, especially on Sundays and during Simbang Gabi.

Branding

The current logo for SM Supermalls was adopted in 2022. The logo consists of the letters "SM" in a custom typeface referred to as Henry Sans after founder Henry Sy and uses a shade of blue dubbed as "SM Electric Blue".[81]
