Shop in, drive thru
Tash Costan
Tash Costan starts her swift and safe shopping by presenting her FM pass and submitting to health checks in the entrance.
“I really feel safe shopping here. I like how SM encourages us to follow directional floor signs to keep foot traffic organized as we shop from one store to another–no more bumping into each other!”
Tash loves to shop home and baby essentials in The SM Store. “They have a UV box that regularly sterilizes items touched by customers!” For the rest of her essentials, Tash relies on drive-thru and pick up services that help her manage her time during a visit. “Almost everything I need is in SM!”
Tash is delighted to be shopping in SM again—especially in The SM Store where there are So Many Markdowns throughout the month of July.
Call to deliver
A convenient way to shop is to buy essentials through The SM Store’s Call to Deliver (09562106652 in SM City Davao/09178474356 in SM Lanang Premier) and SM’s partner delivery service providers Errands Davao, Streetby, Kuya Juan Delivery, and Maligaya Taxi.
A regular client of SM Store’s Call to Deliver since May, Ara Casas-Tumuran shares that it is a convenient way to shop when a trip to the mall doesn’t fit her busy mom schedule. She says that it has been her go-to delivery service especially for her baby’s needs.
