SM Supermalls is set to launch SM J Mall, a new lifestyle destination in Metro Cebu, aiming to transform the region’s retail landscape with its blend of modern architecture and Japan-inspired design elements.
The grand unveiling, scheduled for October, marks SM Supermalls’ fourth establishment in Cebu and is expected to be the most awaited mall launch of the year.
“We are excited to introduce SM J Mall as a multifaceted destination that goes beyond just shopping,” said Steven Tan, President of SM Supermalls. “With its fresh mix of dining options, interactive entertainment, and premium services to fit the urban Cebuano lifestyle, SM J Mall is set to become a favorite destination for the Cebu shopper, diner, and entertainment seeker.”
SM J Mall is designed to attract a diverse crowd, including food enthusiasts, adventure seekers, and wellness advocates. The mall features unique concepts influenced by both local and international trends.
One highlight is the Izakaya Terrace, a row of casual dining venues offering al fresco options with a mix of traditional and modern Japanese cuisine and cocktails, perfect for social gatherings.
Another key attraction is the Japan-inspired Food Hall, which caters to food lovers with innovative dining experiences that showcase a variety of Cebuano and international cuisines, ranging from Asian comfort food to Western classics.
Entertainment options at SM J Mall are extensive, featuring a recreation area that includes boulder climbing, escape rooms, a trampoline park, virtual game simulators, a virtual golf arena, and a roller-skating rink.
For those seeking relaxation, a dedicated wellness space is available, while moviegoers can enjoy two Director’s Club cinemas. These premium theaters offer luxurious settings with up to 100 fully reclining seats, laser cinema projection, and Dolby Atmos sound systems, providing an enhanced cinematic experience.
The mall’s redevelopment spans multiple levels, each offering tailored experiences to suit different needs. The Lower Ground Level is designed for quick bites, everyday essentials, and convenient services. The Upper Ground Level focuses on fashion-forward retail and new dining options.
The second level promotes a dynamic and active lifestyle with chic athleisure brands, relaxed fashion, and a vibrant selection of Japanese restaurants, facilitating a seamless transition from day to night. The third level is dedicated to amusement areas, cinemas, wellness centers, and specialty stores, creating a fun-filled paradise for visitors.
Ahead of its October opening, SM Supermalls is inviting interested tenants to join in redefining urban retail in the bustling hub of Mandaue City. The company aims to offer unique and personalized experiences for every visitor, positioning SM J Mall as a cornerstone of Cebu’s evolving retail environment.
The launch of SM J Mall comes at a time when Metro Cebu continues to grow as a key economic and commercial center in the Philippines. With its strategic location and comprehensive offerings, SM J Mall is poised to become a major player in the region’s retail sector, attracting both local and international visitors.
