The bustling community of North Caloocan recently celebrated the grand opening of SM City Caloocan on May 17. As the 86th addition to the ever-growing SM Supermalls portfolio and the third in Caloocan City, this latest development promises to bring a new level of excitement and convenience to the area.
“We are very excited to open SM City Caloocan to the public and offer a complete shopping experience, with good services, convenience, sustainable features and more,” said SM Supermalls’ Vice President for Operations Junias Eusebio. “Caloocan is a very populous market, and we already have two SM malls located in the southern side of the city. There is a dense population here in the north as well, and we want to be able to serve them too.”
SM City Caloocan is designed to be a dynamic blend of modern attractions and local favorites, creating a shopping paradise spread over 94,000 square meters. This vast space houses a diverse array of stores, entertainment options, and activities, ensuring there is something for everyone.
Among the anchor tenants is the SM Store, providing a comprehensive selection of fashion, shoes, bags, accessories, furniture, and appliances.
Fashion enthusiasts can also delight in the offerings of UNIQLO, located on the ground level, which features timeless clothing pieces.
In addition to these, visitors can find other well-known SM affiliate brands such as SM Supermarket, Watsons, SM Appliance Center, Surplus, Miniso, and Ace Hardware, making it a one-stop destination for all shopping needs.
Unique attractions, local flavors
SM City Caloocan goes beyond the typical mall experience by introducing unique features like the Wellness Space—a haven for relaxation and rejuvenation located on the 3rd level—and the Sky Plaza, which adds fun and vibrant color to the mall’s displays.

Supporting local businesses is a key highlight of this new mall. Mahiwaga Café is a third-wave coffee shop that champions the quality of single-origin coffee beans and promotes Filipino coffee culture. Their menu features premium milk tea, specialty coffee, and Filipino fusion cuisine, offering a true taste of the Philippines.
After Tree Dessert Café is another local gem, renowned for its delightful egg tarts. Their innovative Honeycomb series drinks—Honeycomb Latté, Honeycomb Mocha, and Honeycomb Choco—provide a perfect blend of sweetness and bitterness for a unique flavor experience.
For those seeking hearty Filipino fare, Elliot Bar and Restaurant is a must-visit. This Caloocan staple offers a warm, inviting atmosphere where it feels like happy hour all day. Their menu includes Filipino favorites such as Lechon Kawali, Bulalo, Chicken Inasal, Chopsuey, and Pinakbet.
Modern conveniences
SM City Caloocan ensures visitors can enjoy all the modern amenities they expect from a mall. The SM Foodcourt provides a spacious and inviting area for dining, while the state-of-the-art SM Cinema promises a top-notch movie-going experience. Tech enthusiasts, on the other hand, will find their haven in SM Cyberzone.
Convenience is a priority with a sizable carpark that includes two Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations and 1,190 parking slots. The mall also offers a designated bike parking area and a nearby transport terminal, ensuring easy access from all parts of the city.
