SHOPPING mall operator SM Prime Holdings Inc. will open its third mall in Pangasinan on Friday, following the success of its two SM City malls in the province.
The company said it will open SM Center Dagupan, becoming the company’s 74th mall. The new mall has a size of 23,000 square meters in gross floor area, bringing the combined size of the three SM malls in Pangasinan to 145,000 sq m.
SM Prime said the new mall will complement the first two SMs in the province, in Rosales and in Urdaneta.
“Dagupan City is considered as Pangasinan’s industrial hub and the most highly urbanized city. The addition of SM Center Dagupan in this progressive and vibrant city will attract more local and international tourists, further boosting the growth of the local economy,” SM Prime President Jeffrey C. Lim said.
SM Center Dagupan, which will open with 90 percent of space lease-awarded, will feature shopping, dining and entertainment destinations, including SM Hypermarket, SM Appliance Center, Ace Hardware, Watsons, Surplus, Miniso and Simply Shoes, among other well-liked brands and shops.
SM Center Dagupan is along the busy MH Del Pilar Street and is close to major education, health and government institutions in the city.
It will have more than 400 car park slots, as well as bus terminal slots for added convenience for the mall’s and city’s guests.
