KCC started in 1947[ citation needed ] as a textile store in Koronadal. It was a time when Koronadal was rapidly commercialising and became the capital of South Cotabato. It then expanded in 1989 as a supermarket and department store and branded as KCC Shopping Center. [2]

In 1992, KCC expanded their operations with a second branch in General Santos as KCC Warehouse Plaza, which was later renamed KCC Mall of GenSan in 1996. In 2000, the KCC Shopping Center in Koronadal became the KCC Mall of Marbel.

In 2012, the branch in General Santos added 21,450 square meters of space and was later called 'Veranza by KCC, or simply Veranza Mall, with an Al-Fresco dining strip, additional stores, and an activity center. [3] [4] [5]

On October 28, 2018, their fifth mall, KCC Mall of Cotabato, broke ground on its 10 hectares. The construction started on July 1, 2020. The target construction period for was 20-24 months.
