SM at Iloilo Central and Terminal Markets  open today

Iloilo City continues to strengthen its reputation as a vibrant hub of commerce, culture, and convenience with three key destinations offering Ilonggos and visitors everything they need in one accessible place. The newly redeveloped Iloilo Central Market and the bustling Iloilo Terminal Market—each now featuring an SM development within the complex—bring together fresh produce, local food, daily essentials, and modern retail options that highlight both tradition and contemporary living.

The revitalized Iloilo Central Market, also known as Tienda Mayor, remains a thriving home for its local food tenants, staying true to its identity as a hub for fresh produce, seafood, market essentials, and beloved Ilonggo delicacies.

From homegrown favorites to an impressive selection of dried seafood—guma-a, balingon, hipon, kalkag, tabagak, local guinamos (Iloilo’s version of bagoong), premium danggit, and dried squid in all sizes—the market proudly keeps its rich culinary tradition alive.

Beyond food, shoppers can still find colorful banig mats woven from pandan and buri leaves, durable rattan and bamboo baskets and bags, wooden kitchen tools, hand-embroidered textiles, and even their favorite tailoring shops—all contributing to the enduring charm and authenticity of Iloilo’s iconic marketplace.

Now enhanced by the presence of SM, the market is transforming into an even more dynamic destination with the opening of new shops and establishments offering food, clothing, and a variety of other products.

A major highlight is the SM Foodcourt at the new markets—a modern dining space dedicated to celebrating Ilonggo cuisine and giving visitors another reason to enjoy Iloilo’s culinary offerings.

Iloilo Terminal Market: Convenience and Easy Shopping,

A long-time favorite for quick errands and everyday essentials, the Iloilo Terminal Market—popularly known as Super—stands out for its strategic location and efficiency. Here, shoppers can find everything from fresh produce and dry goods to garments, home items, and ready-to-eat meals.

With SM  now integrated into the Terminal Market, the space offers even greater convenience. SM adds structure, accessibility, and a curated mix of retail and service options that elevate the “one-stop-shop” experience for commuters, workers, and busy shoppers.

Strengthening Access, Supporting Local, and Connecting Communities

The SM developments within both markets officially open today, November 28, marking a new chapter in Iloilo’s market landscape.

By being part of both the Central and Terminal Markets, SM brings modern market experiences directly to Iloilo’s traditional commercial centers. This integration supports local vendors, enhances convenience for shoppers, and creates vibrant community hubs where everything is within reach.

From traditional market goods to Ilonggo delicacies, from quick errands to quality dining and shopping—Iloilo Central Market, Iloilo Terminal Market, and SM now work together to offer Ilonggos a complete and unified shopping experience.
