SM City Bacolod provided Negrense shoppers with a grander experience with the opening of its Northwing expansion in time for the MassKara Festival last October 16, 2014. SM Prime Holdings Inc. invested P1.4B for SM City Bacolod’s North Wing Expansion which doubled the size of the original mall to 133,893 square meters. But the best news is that the mall expansion will also provide new jobs to 2,000 Negrenses.
New and Improved SM Foodcourt
SM Foodcourt is a favorite one-stop shop of families and friends looking for a convenient place to dine with a wide selection of quality food. Our favorite for affordable and quality food just got better with the new and improved SM Foodcourt which opened at the second floor of the SM City Bacolod North Wing. The new SM Foodcourt is very spacious, well lighted and features open kitchens where customers can see how their food are prepared. During the day, the Foodcourt uses only natural light from its ceiling.
Well-known local favorites Casa Ilongga offering our well loved Ilonggo dishes and Kamay Kainan which serves Filipino favorites are already open.
Bacolodnons also welcome back the opening of US-born, Italian restaurant chain Sbarro where people line up for half an hour or more to enjoy generous servings of freshly-made pizza and pasta.
The Korean craze has obviously reached the shores of Bacolod with people lining up for almost an hour at Mr. Kimbob to savor their bestselling Korean Bibimbob (Bibimbap). Mr. Kimbob is a bestseller among SM Foodcourst branches nationwide.
If you don’t want to line up, there’s Potato Corner and for thirst quenching drinks there’s Thirsty Healthy Juice and Shakes and Chillers. Opening soon are Tokyo Joe, Kublai Khan, Sizzling Plate, and Four Seasons.
SMX Convention Center Bacolod
Together with the opening of the SM City North Wing Annex is the soft opening of the SMX Convention Center Bacolod. This is the first SMX in the Visayas which can accommodate up to 4000 seats. The MassKara City Bacolod Trade Expo and Conference on October 17-19 is the maiden event at the SMX Convention Center. The event is a one-stop shop for visitors where they can buy the best products from Bacolod and Negros Occidental, inquire on investment opportunities from real estate and business exhibitors, have a relaxing quick massage at the Health and Wellness booths, watch performances and attend talks on different topics from subject matter specialists.
The MassKara City was very successful in drawing thousands of visitors and this is a sure sign that Bacolod is ready to host national and international Meetings, Incentives, Conferences,and Events (MICE). SMX Convention Center Bacolod will have its grand opening this November so we can expect bigger events happening in Bacolod City.
