SM-Bacolod opening moved anew in March
By Erwin Ambo S. Delilan
AGAIN, the opening of the Shoe Mart (SM) - Bacolod at the Reclamation area will be moved from December 16 this year to March 16 next year.
Ardis Jaculina, chief of City's Permits and Licensing Division said Monday.
This is the second time that the management of the giant mall postponed the opening date.
First, it was scheduled this October supposedly in time of the MassKara Festival.
But bad weather in the early part of the year caused some delays in the construction and SM management rescheduled it to Dec. 16.
Jaculina said by January next year the construction will be totally complete except for some interior items which will still be imported.
"That's why, the SM management asked for two more months to complete the installation of all the interior structures," Jaculina added.
He said SM advised that they will be moving the final opening date to March 16 next year.
"We were also instructed to start putting up a one-stop-shop processing center for business locators who wanted to do business or get shops at SM City-Bacolod. Around 200 shops are up for lease," Jaculina added.
