History and location
Main article: KCC Malls

Koronadal Commercial Center (KCC) started in 1957 as a textile store in Koronadal City. It then expanded in 1989 into a supermarket and department store as KCC Shopping Center. KCC expanded in 1992 General Santos City as KCC Warehouse Plaza, which was later renamed as KCC Mall of GenSan in 1996. With their growing profitability over the cities of Koronadal and General Santos, KCC then ventured for their expansion in other cities within Mindanao, to include the cities of Zamboanga and Cotabato.

In 2012, KCC bought a 3.5-hectare lot at Governor Camins Avenue, Zamboanga City. Along with the local government, the groundbreaking was then commenced on October 10, 2012.[4] The massive construction, starting with the deep excavation of lands to be used as two levels down from the ground floor, was started in November 2012. With its location near the Zamboanga International Airport, KCC specialized its mall structure in order to not interfere the airport's main runway.

The mall made its grand opening in December 10, 2015.[5]
