Bakit walang Mercury Drugs store sa mga SM Malls?

Mr. Henry Sy, the owner of SM was 

a very ambitous man.

 He wanted to get rich more than 2 

decades ago. 

He tried many business to get 

enough income but failed. After trying so hard to make both

 ends meet; he finally have enough 

money to start a small business. 

It acrossed to his mind to build a 

small Shoe store.

 He thought that how could he get customers. 

An idea popped out.

 He noticed that Mercury drug which 

is big drug store and been to the

 business for many years has many

loyal customers coming to them. He approached the owner and asked 

if he can rent and place his small 

shoe store there even with a very

 small portion.

 He was not allowed and got 

embarrased even though he asked politely. He promised to himself... that ...

Mercury drug will never step in his

 life when he get rich. Now, Mr.Sy is the richest man in 

the Philippines because of his own 

will and determination.

 Now he never let a Mercury Drug 

Store do business in his malls like 

SM. Also he franchised a store Watson

 which is a drug store and that's the

 substitute for Mercury Drug.
