History

The roots of Isetann Department Store Inc. dates back on July 27, 1980[2] It was established in Carriedo, the former business district of Manila. Isetann was the revived version of 'Joymart' which was a smaller local supermarket chain, could not benefit much from economies of scale. Hence, 'Joymart' was renamed the now 'Isetann' which transformed into a modern large-scale retailer store, with bright signature colors of orange and green.[1] The first and only Isetann Mall, Isetann Cinerama Recto, was opened in 1988 as Isetann's response to its rival mall SM North EDSA (opened 3 years earlier) located at the portion of Estero de Quiapo before becoming the site of the former Roman Super Cinerama which was burned down in the late 1970s. It primarily specializes in international and local movie screenings. The largest of the four branches, the Recto mall attracts shopping traffic because of its location beside Line 1 and Line 2 train stations in the office district of Manila.Шаблон:Citation needed

Isetann is known for its marketing promotions, such as celebrity events, cooking competitions, hip-hop dance contests, and beauty pageants.[2] Celebrities who have appeared in Isetann include Marian Rivera, Xian Lim, Mateo Guidicelli, Sam Milby, and other well known local Filipino actors or singers. Besides celebrity promotions, the retailer also hosts sales, lotteries, and buy-one-take-one promotions.

In 2019, the department store was ordered shut down by the Philippine government due to "operating beyond its business permit", "misrepresentation of actual business area" and "questionable number of employees," according to the city's Bureau of Permits' memorandum. The mall has since reopened after compliance to regulations.[3]
