Public counts on the Project LUPAD Facebook posts about the J.CO opening, as well as the store photos, as of October 2026.

The story

Announced. Then opened.

Initially, we announced the grand opening of the biggest J.CO store in the Philippines on March 8, 2024. Also, the post shared the date, the time and the location: the ground level of the North Wing, SM City CDO Uptown.

Then, on opening day, March 12, our team covered the store itself, from the coffee bar and the donut display to the ribbon cutting and the first guests.

As a result, the announcement alone drew 2,702 reactions and 1,537 shares, so the opening was the talk of the city before the doors even opened.
