History
Located at N. Bacalso Avenue corner Leon Kilat Street in Brgy. Pahina Central, Cebu City, the lot that E-Mall stands today used to be a vacant lot where formations of citizens' military trainings were held. The mall opened on December 3, 2003 and specifically caters to the classes A, B, C and D market, as well as to the students and young professionals. It was a gift of Atty. Augusto W. Go to his wife, Elizabeth Gan-Go, for whom the mall was dedicated, during their 33rd wedding anniversary. In 2014, E-Mall opened its service lane as part of its rezoning strategies to be a one-stop shop in Cebu. It occupies almost half of the mall's third level. The site used to be the previous location of the World of Fun and the mall's activity center, which was then converted into a kiddie play area.Incidents
