SM Hypermarket Balagatas Now Open To Serve
Goody! SM Hypermarket in Balagtas, Batangas City has just opened yesterday (Dec. 3) and it’s only a 5-minute drive from our house. I don’t have to drive all the way to SM City Pallocan just to do the groceries. This would also help lessen the load of the Bridge of Promise and the Calumpang Bridge that vehicles pass through to get to SM City Pallocan.
I had a chance to visit SM Hypermarket this afternoon just to accompany my mom who wanted to buy cooking utensils (or she was just curious how the Hypermarket looks like). Before SM Hypermarket, the establishment was formerly a Makro wholesale store. I never had any chance to enter Makro before, but I think the building just underwent a few renovations. Having a huge parking lot is a big plus for shoppers. The establishment itself is huge, like other SM Hypermarkets and could accommodate a number of different products. It’s noticeably warm inside. I guess the place was too large for the air-conditioning to handle. Surprisingly, there were a lot of shoppers this afternoon. I wonder if they were also just curious, or if they really ought to become regular customers, too.
Overall, this is just another great improvement for the province. It gave more jobs to Batanguenos, and gave convenience to most shoppers who live nearby. I’m even luckier for having the new supermarket just a few minutes away so I could do rush shopping anytime. :)
