Startup Markets: Up and Running at SM Malls Nationwide
Location can make or break a business.
This must have been an important consideration for a number of new
entrepreneurs who chose to get their startups off the ground at SM Malls. Start
Up Market, the hub for emerging small businesses, will be up and running in these regional and premier malls in key cities across
the country: SM North Edsa, SM Mall of Asia, SM Southmall, SM Pampanga, SM
Clark, SM Grand Central, SM Sta. Rosa, SM City Cebu, SM Iloilo, SM Bacolod, SM
CDO Downtown Premier, and SM Lanang Premier.
SM Megamall kicked
off the opening of the Start Up Market last December 15, highlighting a wide
variety of product categories. From innovative brands that sell comfort food,
health and wellness, to tech, home essentials and many more. Having launched
their businesses online, most of these small entrepreneurs consider the hub as
a chance to have a physical stall where they can have a face-to-face
interaction with their clients. The Start Up Market not only helps startups
grow but it also gives shoppers a new and exciting source of gifts especially
for the fast approaching holidays.
