History

The mall was officially opened to the public on May 4, 2018, and is the second SM Supermall in Pangasinan after SM City Rosales. ^[3] The initial lineup of anchor tenants included The SM Store, SM Supermarket, SM Appliance Center, and SM Cyberzone, alongside other SM affiliate brands such as Watsons, Ace Hardware, Our Home, Surplus, and Miniso.

Plans for the construction of the mall's third floor had been in place since 2018, but was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Finally, on May 13, 2022, the mall opened its third-floor expansion. The new floor added space for retail, dining, service outlets, an event center, and a cinema. ^{[4] [5]}
