The Fisher Mall is a mall in Quezon City that opened on January 29, 2014. The location of the mall was formerly occupied by the Pantranco bus terminal. One of the anchors of the mall, Fisher Supermarket, primarily sells fish supplied by Irma Fishing Inc.[4][5]

Etymology

The Fisher Mall's name is a homage to Mallers Management Corporation President Ray del Rosario's ancestors who initiated Irma Fishing fishing business based in Malabon.[4][5]

Planned expansions and changes

Mallers Investment Corporation has planned to build a 15-storey hotel or a mall annex in 2015-2016. If the hotel component pushes through, it will be branded under Fisher Mall and have approximately 110 rooms catering to the mid-range segment, and would've been located beside the mall itself. Instead, a mini park was built beside the mall along Quezon Avenue, known as Fisher Parkway, with tenants like Uniqlo occupying stalls, aside from restaurants and a cinema house.

During the latter half of 2017, the foodcourt was replaced with a food hall, dubbed The Galley, occupying the third floor of what was formerly a part of the Fisher Mall department store. Said foodcourt was later demolished and replaced with a wide activity hall with occasional variety stores now occupying the place.

The top floor of the department store was converted into an events hall that can be rented. This reduces the department store area to three floors from five floors.

The supermarket was also expanded, occupying what was once the supermarket's stock room. A doorway at the eastern end of the supermarket was built as well.

Future branches

Fisher Mall's second branch is currently under construction at the Del Rosarios home town of Malabon at C4-Road, cor. Dagat-Dagatan Ave.[6] The new mall is expected to open on November 29, 2018.
