SM Mall expansions in the provinces: good or bad?

[jundogg]

henry sy rocks!

:rockon:

good because it will provide job opportunities to rural peeps.

ok di naman yan eh..
problem lang kasi sa kalsada.. basta pag may s.m. expect heavy traffic sa national road na nasasakupan lalo na this coming yuletide season. like my experience sa amin sa bagong bukas na SM muntinlupa.. hanep sa traffic.. pero i like their fireworks display.. while stucked in a heavy traffic nanood muna ng display..

dapat bigyan matter muna ng sm admin yung condition ng traffic sa tapat ng establishment nila..

imho, maganda ang effect ng malls macroeconomically due to increased business:area ratio and not to mention job availability. ang main concern lang dito ay maaapektuhan ng todo ang mga class C-D entreprenuers dahil sa mga franchise stores. saka mas makakabuti rin siguro kung sa less congested highways i-locate ang mga ito dahil kita niyo naman dito sa maynila kung ano ang epekto nito kung sa may major highway nilagay ang mga malls.

After seeing what SM City Batangas did to the usual "hotspots" sa batangas, I'd say "no" to the city's small to medium businesses...

Wala din naman namimili sa mga stores ng SM dun eh, supermarket lang at resto pinepatronize.

correct! halos nilalangaw mga stalls. kitaro, nagsarado na. mabenta lang yung supermarket, jollibee, kfc and starbucks.

during a talk before delivered by henry sy, his goal is to have SM every 15 minutes drive w/o traffic within manila, and will sm will expand to provinces nationwide, he delivered this speech some years ago, to date he is living with the speech he delivered, so even before he give the talk, he already planned the events and his visions, i salute him for this, di malayo na maging philippineSM, if philippines has 7000+ contitents, it has _?_ this amount of SM

when the newest n biggest mall here opened in our area, we promptly opened a branch inside, baka maunahan pa ng ibang hardware. even though the profit is just above breakeven e pwede na, big help to the overall volume sales din naman and its hard to beat the customer traffic a mall provides. if mall rent is too expensive, its best to get a small area first.

I like the malls in the provinces kasi at least may magawa. I'm particularly happy with SM Baguio kasi wala na talaga magawa sa Baguio these days and eating yellow cab pizza in the cold of the night dun sa terrace ng SM Baguio, and sarap!!!

SM tiendesitas is more like SM Hypermart. their answer to Shopwise. hanggang gabi grocery. I already inquired about this.

so it's true pala with SM cainta. kala ko rumor lang yun. malaki lupa doon ah if they cleared that area. siguro automatic lahat ng lote subs dun taas ang presyo. time to invest hehehe

Hindi sya mall parang hypermarket lang din daw pero may mga stores for lease.

i already inquire na dito saka nakapila na kami for store location.

kasi isip ni SM kesa mapunta sa iba ang pera o sales, itayo na lang nya, may pupunta pa rin naman eh.

di magtatagal magiging republic of SM na tayo, sa araneta mag ka tapat na kanto ng centerpoint tatayo Sm mixed, residencial and commercial bldg.

yup. hypermart lang yung tinatayo. dapat lahat nung customer e "hyper".

[aceshark]

lalong lalaki plastic bags nila nyan. bi ba sa ilalim nung malaking SM e naka-print lahat ng branches nila.

[BlueBimmer]

pangit na megamall ngayon, kakapunta ko lng cyberzone sa megamall, sa dami ng computer shops e di pa rin kumpleto mga benta, Villman pangit ng service pakshet hehe

concorde naman puro walang kwentang car accessories karamihan ng stock e panahon pa ng kopong LOL

IMHO, this would in a way help decongest Metro Manila's clogged roads and bring SM closer to every pinoy's home. It also helps the local economy because instead of coming over to MMla to buy commodities available at SM Malls, doon na lang sa kani-kanilang localities.
It's downside though is the effect it brings to the local business enterprises but this is competition and this will deter also the uncontrollable inflation that other businesses initiate. To me, this would be more beneficial than harmful.
