SM Supermalls Announces New Nationwide Mall Hours Starting March 30

SM Supermalls, the country’s leading integrated property developer and retailer, officially announced today a nationwide adjustment to its standard operating hours. In response to the National Energy Emergency, all SM Supermalls across the Philippines will shorten mall operating hours effective Monday, March 30.

This strategic shift is a direct response to the urgent need for nationwide power conservation. By adjusting daily opening times, SM Supermalls aims to significantly reduce demand on the national grid. This measure ensures that the company effectively manages resources during this time.

"SM is proactively adapting to the current situation by adjusting our operating hours. We remain committed to delivering elevated retail experiences for all Filipinos, supported by our increased use of renewable energy to power our malls," said Steven Tan, President of SM Supermalls.
