SM Mall expansions in the provinces: good or bad?

[CLAVEL3699]

Ayus yun kung hypermart, gabi na kami usually nakakagrocery, mura din benta ng SM kesa robinsons...

San yung Tikling?

Bert: hehe, bilin nalang ng SM ang Big Bert's hahah, para kanto-kanto meron din

its along ortigas ext. lagpas lang nang junction papuntang antipolo.

Hindi ka na makakarating sa pag akyat papuntang antipolo.

Tama ba ako ortigas ext pa yun? hhehehehehe

[cordi]

Tikling, sa dulo ng Ortigas Ave after Cainta. Junction na gateway to Rizal province.

I am from Baguio and I have seen how SM decimated the local businesses. There was this tsismis na nabayaran ang current mayor nuon para makapagopen cya. Ang masakit dun, nalaman na lang ng city government belatedly na ang SM Prime e sa Cavite pala nagbabayad ng taxes. In short, walang na credit sa Baguio, sa Cavite napunta. Nabawasan pa tuloy ingreso ng city govt.

In fairness, dumami naman mga walang kwentang trabaho na 5-months contractual lang.

[CLAVEL3699]

ang problema sa SM dami nga sila work generation pero hanggang 5 months kalang at hindi kana pwede umulit sa kanila.

Hintay ka one year bago ka pwde ulit magtrabaho sa kanila if kukunin ka pa nila kasi prefer nila NEW FACES daw.

[BlueBimmer]

hmm increased 'contractual' employment lng pala hehe

[oldblue]

given naman talaga yan pag nagbukas SM paktay negosyo. I have a friend who is a lessee in SM Valenzuela. good move daw sya na umalis sa mga commercial spaces along Mc arthur at pumasok sa SM.

isa pang delikado eh yun Blue Wave sa reclamation pag nagbukas na yan SM Mall of Asia. may panggabi ata dinner night outs ang SM MoA yun nakaharap sa bay. baka nga pati baywalk maapektuhan nyan.

by the way, did you know na tumatabo ng minimum of 100K per day ang mga resto dyan sa baywalk, considering na bukas lang sila starting late aftertoon until morning. my ninong owns and rents a resto there. walang fancy kitchen, lahat dala-dala nila tubig, lutuan, food. ni wala daw plumbing. and what surprised me the most eh P3k to P5k a day kinikita nila sa mobile CR. kaya nga daw extra service sila, may alcohol at tissue pa hehehe
pakain na nga nila yun mga bantay na pulis ng baywalk eh.

Pards, anong pangalan ng resto ng ninong mo. Para maka-iwas.

not at liberty to divulge pero I guarantee you lahat ng resto duon ganun. no kitchen, no sink (makeshift sink mayruon). mapa-figaro pa yan or grilled resto.

kung may plumbing sa baywalk area, then they wont use those mobile CR's.

Holy doghouse! Thanks for the info, bro. Baywalk - you just crossed my list.

[yuichi]

imo.....

cons- maraming mamatay n small and medium scale enterprise
- traffic, laging masama ang planning ng sm lalo sa traffic...sa sm at robonsin's sa sanfernando hindi gaanong maayos yung planning niya sa labas...just to think na isang company lang nagmasterplan sa dalwang malls.

pros- ofcourse it generates more jobs.
- hindi n nagsisiksikan s sm mega or north ang mga tao...so less traffic sa manila.
- decentralization ng development....seems na pag may sm sa lugar mo eh parang papaunlad n sya....although psychological lang siguro.

boybi,

Saan sa Tarlac magtatayo ng SM. Parang madami na ngang mall sa Tarlac City, di ko maisip kung saan pa sisingit yung SM duon. Yung Luisita Mall nga nakakalungkot pumasok dun, may mga stalls na walang occupant sa 2nd floor. Although I really just go there to visit Tactical Corner

Also, pabor ako sa pagpapatayo sa SM Carmen, at sana may National Bookstore outlet dun. Right now I have to travel from Urdaneta to Dagupan just to get decent books since we don't have a respectable book store in our city. The downside of having an SM in Carmen, Pangasinan is it will add to traffic congestion if it is located along McArthur Highway

[boybi]

mikey177, sa may tapat ng Tessie's Grills & Roasters.

mikey177, sa may tapat ng Tessie's Grills & Roasters.

Thanks for the info, boybi. Buti na lang di kami usually umaabot dun, hanggang Ramos Hospital at CLDH lang ang biyahe namin pag nag-Tarlac kami.

mikey177, i was informed that the sm hypermart in carmen will be located on the lot adjacent to the airstrip.

Yes, that's what I heard from my wife's friends too. Sa tapat sya halos ng INC at sa tabi ng Carmen Central "Transfort"

[Isuzoom]

SM City Bacolod now building on their 220,000sqm lot at the Bacolod Reclamation area.

More on the positive side than negative.

boybi, talaga bang dun sa tapat ng tessie's yung sm tarlac? siguradong sisikip ng traffic duon!

[boybi]

yup. ngayon pa nga lang medyo masikip na, what more kung andyan na ang SM. buti nalang tapos na gawin mga bypass roads.

[cutedoc]

i suggest na pag natuloy ang sm dpat gumawa ng bypass road to the right from manila, ang bypass na ginawa is to the left from manila, i suggest that the irrigation road must be rehabilitated,tutal its a govt road so mas ok na din kung ayusin nila,it would at decongest traffic in a way if sm construction will be pursued upon

[diesoline]

may bypass roads na pala. kelangan ng malaman mga yun. it will come in handy if ever the time comes. buti na lang most of my trips thru tarlac are in the early morning.

yung sm dito baguio is relatively smooth naman ang vehicular traffic. pero kung nagdatingan mga tourists during holidays, nakupo...

[boybi]

cutedoc, tapos na yung bypass road dun sa may tapat ng vortex. bali daan ka dun sa may holy spirit, or pwede ka na mag right anywhere after toyota if you're coming from manila.

kung dun ka sa bypass sa tapat ng honkee, pwede ka naman pumasok na agad sa gate 1 ng SSV tapos labas ka nalang dun sa bypass mismo going to fairlane.

[cutedoc]

oo nga... pero pag sobra traffic that area, baka mayor might reconsider=)

reconsider what?
