SM Opened The World's Third-Biggest Mall

Attention SM shoppers, who just love everything about SM! I DO, this is my favorite shopping store, besides you would get anything you may need with loads of selection. Every time we go home to the Philippines and thought of doing shopping, I'd always and rather spend my time in any SM Department Store chain in Manila! We live close to the " SM Mall of Asia", what a massive place! I remember exactly when it was still under construction, about 3-1/2 years ago when I spent my one month vacation off to work, I used to go running that side!

I REALLY THOUGHT THAT SM MALL OF ASIA WAS REGARDED AS THE BIGGEST MALL ALL OVER ASIA, AS ITS NAME IMPLIES.....

But I was wrong, and have realized only after reading the story about SM's new project! This was in news WORLDWIDE and in various news online.

"THE world’s third biggest shopping mall opened in Quezon City on the 12th of December '08, a vote of confidence in the Philippines’ economic prospects amid a global slowdown, its owners said yesterday.

The launch of its 90,000-square-meter annex will make the SM City North the third biggest in the world with a gross floor area of 425,000 square meters, SM Prime Holdings Inc. said in a statement.

The company, a holding firm of Henry Sy, the Philippines’ richest man, also owns the world’s fourth, seventh, and 11th biggest malls: SM Mall of Asia in Pasay City, SM Megamall in Mandaluyong City, and SM City in Cebu".
