SM Supermalls, owned by SM Prime Holdings, Inc., is a chain of shopping malls in the Philippines, with 43 malls across the Philippines as well as branches in China.
The company that operates the malls was started by Henry Sy, Sr. in 1958 as Shoemart, with a store in Manila. In 1960's Shoemart expands its shoe store chain. It is one of the pioneers in the new urban centers in Makati and Cubao.[1] By the 1970s, Shoemart was a full-line Department Store, shifting its name from Shoemart to SM, with stores at Makati Commercial Center in Makati City; followed by SM Cubao in Cubao, Quezon City; SM at Harrison Plaza in Malate, Manila; and the first outside of Metro Manila, SM Iloilo on Delgado St. in Iloilo City. In the 1980s, the company diversified and ventured into the supermarket and home appliance store business, then finally opening the first "Supermall" store in 1985 in Quezon City called SM City.
In 1990's SM spearheads what is known as the malling phenomenon in the Philippines with the opening of SM City Sta. Mesa in 1990 and SM Megamall in 1991. Malling becomes a way of life for millions of Filipinos as SM Malls are opened in the metro and provincial areas.[2]
SM Supermalls have also launched SM Cares, a program of SM Prime's corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives. Carried out in all the 40 SM malls nationwide, SM Cares' cover the environmental conservation (energy, air and water), and care and assistance to customers of SM malls with special needs such as Persons with Disability (PWD), Special Children, The Elderly and nursing mothers.[3][4][5] As part of its ongoing program assist and create consciousness about persons with disabilities, the SM Supermalls also celebrated the 13th National Autism Consciousness Week with a series of activities at the SM Mall of Asia.[6]

As SM celebrates its 50th Anniversary as a retailer, it approaches this milestone with a new vitality and energy to serve a new generation of shoppers, as well as the many customers that have made it part of their lives.

SM was founded as a shoe store by Henry Sy, Sr., in October 1958 in downtown Manila. Mr. Sy, who is known as the visionary of Philippine retail because of his innovations in the industry, thought of establishing a chain of shoe stores with a store layout and merchandising concepts never before tried in the Philippines.

The success of the shoe store led to its expansion as a full line store, and the first SM Department Store opened in downtown Manila in 1972. With its exciting merchandise mix, world class interiors, one stop shopping convenience, and service, SM has become part of the lives of many Filipinos. Today, it has 32 branches strategically located around Metro Manila and key cities around the country.

Through the opening of new stores, renovations of major stores, and the introduction of new merchandising concepts, SM continues to make shopping at its department store chain an exciting lifestyle experience.
