History

File:SM Supermalls Logo.svg
SM Supermalls' second logo from 2009 to 2022. Still used by malls nationwide.

The company was started in 1958 as Shoemart by Henry Sy, with its first store in Manila. In the 1960s, Shoemart expanded its shoe store chain in different locations.[3] In 1972, Shoemart turned into a full-line department store.

In 1985, the company ventured into the supermarket and home appliance store business. It opened the first "Supermall" in the same year named SM North EDSA in Quezon City.

On March 16 to May 15, 2020, all SM malls were temporarily closed due to the enhanced community quarantines caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, with the exception of essential businesses.
