History

KCC Mall of Marbel in 2006, prior to its renovation in 2015

KCC started in 1947^{[citation needed]} as a textile store in Koronadal. It was a time when Koronadal was rapidly commercialising and became the capital of South Cotabato. It then expanded in 1989 as a supermarket and department store and branded as KCC Shopping Center.^[2]

In 1992, KCC expanded their operations with a second branch in General Santos as KCC Warehouse Plaza, which was later renamed KCC Mall of GenSan in 1996. In 2000, the KCC Shopping Center in Koronadal became the KCC Mall of Marbel.

In 2012, the branch in General Santos added 21,450 square meters of space and was later called 'Veranza by KCC, or simply Veranza Mall, with an Al-Fresco dining strip, additional stores, and an activity center.^[3]^[4]^[5]

With their growing profitability in Koronadal and General Santos, KCC began expanding in other cities in Mindanao.^[6]

On December 10, 2015, KCC Mall de Zamboanga opened and became the second largest mall in Mindanao in terms of ground floor area.^[7]^[8]

On October 28, 2018, their fifth mall, KCC Mall of Cotabato, broke ground on its 10 hectares. The construction started on July 1, 2020. The target construction period for was 20-24 months. Due to the pandemic, the target date of opening was moved to 2023 or 2024. After completion of the mall, the construction will proceed to phase two, which is the construction of the 11-storey hotel and a convention center. Upon its completion, KCC Mall of Cotabato will be the largest KCC mall and the second largest mall in Mindanao.^[9]^[10] In August 2023, a fire occurred inside KCC Mall de Zamboanga.^[11] In November 2023, KCC Mall of GenSan was damaged by an earthquake.^[12]
