THE first SM store was established in Carriedo in 1958. With a dream to provide every Filipino with a good pair of shoes, Henry Sy Sr. named his store Shoemart, which he envisioned to become a chain of shoe stores.

Shoemart evolved to become a department store in 1972, and it was rebranded as SM Department Store by 1975.
