History

Thumb
SM North EDSA, the first SM Supermall.

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] and also among the largest shopping malls in the world.

SM Cinema offers premium cinema experience called "Director's Club", which features leather-recliner-seating and butler service,[61] 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 Paragon 918 seating upgrade in 2019) and a screen height of 21.955 meters (72.03 ft), making it the largest cinema screen in the country.[62][63]

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.[64]

There is a policy in place since 2002, which dictates the non-airing of films rated R-18 in SM Cinemas.[65]

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.[79] 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".[80]
