SM Hypermarket
Encyclopedia
SM Hypermarket was started by the Sy family back in the late '90s in response to the growing needs of the market for more convenience. The hypermarket, a new retail format of combining a supermarket with a department store providing one-stop shopping concept was newly accepted by Filipino shoppers.
In 2006, Hypermarkets performed beyond expectations. There are now fifteen hypermarkets, most of which are still in Metro Manila. New relationships are developing as SM Hypermarkets began to invite fresh food stall concessionaires to operate in the hypermarket's fresh market section. Fresh meat, seafood, fruits, and vegetables are sold directly to the customers, who are hooked on the concept of choosing the items they want, at the quantities they prefer, and at the price they can afford.
SM Hypermarkets is also constantly introducing new concepts to enhance the positive shopping experience in the stores: the chicken rotisserie stall, the bakery stall that sell thousands of freshly baked pan de sal, ensaymadas, and other types of bread daily, and Taste Asia, which offers dampa-style dining.
Conversion of Makro to SM Hypermarkets
Robert Kwee, executive vice-president of SM Hypermarkets, said Makro outlets in Makati and Novaliches would be turned into hypermarkets by the end of September and in the last quarter, respectively."Sales doubled after we converted our Mandaluyong branch into a hypermarket. We have already closed Makati and Novaliches, reducing the group’s total Makro branches to 12 outlets," Mr. Kwee said.
But Jose T. Sio, chief financial officer of SM Investments Corp., the listed holding firm of the Sy family, said the mall, banking, and property conglomerate won’t sell its shares in the Dutch-German chain of warehouse clubs,
The SM group is just not comfortable in certain Makro locations, he said.
As of 15 May 2010, 4 Makro Stores have been converted to SM Hypermarket with the first branch outside Metro Manila was opened in Iloilo City on October 23, 2010.
The Mabalacat Branch of Makro was recently closed and reopened as SM Hypermarket last December 7, 2010.
