| Greenhills And SM Megamall till 10PM Shopping |
Ortigas & Co., the owner and operator of the Greenhills Shopping Center, said its operating hours are determined by customer demand.
?Our operating hours are normally adjustable. It is based on market and customer preferences. What determines policies like that are customer preferences. We can cut mall hours, but if the customers prefer longer hours, you also have to adjust. It is the customer that dictates,? Ortigas & Co. chief operating officer Rex Drilon said.
Greenhills Shopping Center opens at 10 a.m. and closes at 8 p.m. during weekdays and 9 p.m. during weekends. During the Christmas season, it usually holds a night market which would stay open until midnight.
The SM Group, the country?s largest mall operator, has also expressed support for the government?s energy-saving program. However, it declined to comment on the proposed reduction in the shopping malls? operating hours. By the end of 2004, there will be a total of 19 SM malls with a total gross floor area of 2.5 million sq m all over the country. Current operating hours of SM malls are between 10 a.m. and 9 p.m. During the peak of the Christmas season, SM malls would even open an hour earlier at 9 a.m. and close an hour later at 10 p.m. to accommodate the horde of shoppers.
