LAPU-LAPU CITY, CEBU, PHILIPPINES (Feb. 26, 2015) — Happy to serve!

Albeit done mechanically by frontlinersevery once in a while, their clapping and thumbs-up remind how decisive SM is in its expansion by opening its 43^rd hypermarket – the third in the densely-populated Mandaue-Lapubusiness zones.

The one-stop hypershop is at Pueblo Verde, Mactan Economic Zone II along Kadaugan Avenue in Barangay Basak, this city.

Opening specials flood via “buy-one get-one” promos and free items everyday for shoppers who purchase groceries worth P500. Examples of items up for Buy-One Get-One are 1.5L Mountain Dew on March 5, Nestle All-purpose Cream on the 6^th, 10 pieces Skyflakes on Mar. 7, Alaska Cream on the 8^th, Ma-Ling luncheon meat on the 9^th, Snickers on the 10^th and Century Tuna in vegetable oil on the 11^th.

Items up for the “Everyday Free” promo are Lysol Liquid hand soap on Mar. 1, SM Bonus Boneless Chicken Tocino (19th), pork teriyaki (20th), pork tapa (21st), pork tocino (22nd), pork tonkatsu (23rd), beef tapa (24th), and SM Bonus Shanghai Mix (25^th).

From Mar. 12-18, shoppers can get a kilo of SM Bonus pork sinigang cut for only P50 (fifty pesos).

Regular promos like items bearing Yellow Tags apply here, including Value Packs wherein shoppers can save up to 80 percent by getting specially bundled items that come with a free SM Bonus product.

Having an SM Advantage card is like holding a golden ticket as Advantage, Prestige and BDO Rewards card unlocks endless promos and freebies. The opening special treat includes offering Advantage cards at P150 only that comes with free 100 points and an SM green bag. When used for shopping, the bag earns for the shopper two SM Advantage points (maximum of three bags per transaction).

Hypershop is actually a combination of a department store and a grocery store where one can buy not just basic commodities but appliances, toys and infant-specific items, to name a few.

Store opens as early as 6 a.m. It is also host to food stalls like LeylamShawarma, Master Siomai, PritongManok, Thirsty? Juices and Shakes, Masitta Food Shop, and Julie’s Bakeshop. The store incorporates bill payment, foreign exchange, and Western Union money transfer services. ###
