Hearts, Hopes, and Huge Savings: How to maximize the CNY and Valentine’s celebration during the Great Northern Sale at SM North EDSA

Love, luck, and luxe-for-less moments collide this February as SM North EDSA brings back its biggest Great Northern Sale, happening from February 11 to 15. For five exciting days, shoppers can score up to 70% off across retail, tech, beauty, make-up, and more, making it the perfect time to refresh wardrobes, upgrade gadgets, and stock up on must-haves. 

What makes this year extra special? The sale period lines up with Chinese New Year and lands just in time for Valentine’s Day, creating a rare triple treat of celebrations, savings, and feel-good vibes. 

To truly maximize the experience, timing and strategy are everything. With thousands of deals happening all at once, smart shoppers can make the most of the Great Northern Sale by planning their route and that’s where the Duon Wayfinding app comes in. Think of it as a real-time indoor navigation app for malls. Duon helps shoppers navigate SM North EDSA with ease and shows which merchants are offering markdowns specifically for the Great Northern Sale. 

After shopping for gifts during the Great Northern Sale, couples can slow things down over dessert, coffee, or a hearty meal as SM North EDSA has plenty of romantic date spots. Sweet-tooth favorites like Conti’s, Aperitif Cafe, and Mary Grace Cafe are perfect for sharing cakes and pastries, while dining spots such as Genki Sushi, Mango Tree Cafe, Pizzulu, and Craft Coffee Roastery PH offer cozy, sit-down options for quality time with your special someone. 

There’s also no better way to keep the good fortune flowing than with auspicious eats to welcome the Year of the Horse. SM North EDSA is home to a wide selection of Chinese restaurants where diners can enjoy symbolic favorites like dumplings for wealth, long noodles for longevity, and savory dishes meant to usher in luck and happiness after a successful shopping spree. Must-visits include David’s Tea House, Gangji Produced Hongkong Cafe, Yummy Dumplings, Du Hsiao Yueh, Tiong Bahru, Ninepot, Din Tai Fung, TuanTuan Kitchen PH, Panda Express, and Tim Ho Wan.
