MANILA, Philippines – From fast-growing just a few years ago to fast-declining. Villar-owned retail companies AllHome and AllDay confirmed on Wednesday, October 7, the decline in their number of outlets in light of recent financial troubles and stiff competition, in separate disclosures to the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE). The Villars’ home improvement brand AllHome said its total store count stood at 34 as of September 29, 2026, down 26% from 47 as of December 31, 2025. Based on AllHome’s annual reports, it had 15 stores in 2016, 18 in 2017, 23 in 2018, 45 in 2019, 50 in 2020, 57 in 2021, 60 in 2022, 72 in 2023, and still 72 in 2024. From its peak in 2023 and 2024, the number of AllHome stores has dropped by 81%. Rappler graphic based on AllHome annual reports and Philippine Stock Exchange disclosures “The company confirms that it has closed certain stores as part of its store network optimization program. These measures are intended to improve operating efficiency and support long-term profitability within its existing retail business,” AllHome said. The company, which started in 2013 with four stores and debuted in the PSE in 2019, said it “remains engaged in its core retail business.” AllHome has three categories for AllHome stores: large mall-based, large free-standing, and small specialty. “The company continues to operate its remaining store network. The company’s store closures and resizing of underperforming locations are intended to optimize productivity and maintain a more efficient cost structure,” it added. “Store operations have been realigned based on sales throughput, customer traffic, and operational requirements, allowing the company to right-size manpower and reduce excess costs while maintaining service quality and operational effectiveness.” AllHome had a net loss of P36.4 million from January to September 2025, and a net profit of P384 million in the same period in 2024, based on unaudited annual reports. The PSE had asked AllHome and AllDay to respond to news reports that the Gokongwei Group’s Shopwise would soon take over the space of AllHome at Vista Mall in Santa Rosa City, Laguna. STILL OPEN.

Photo by Isagani de Castro Jr./Rappler AllDay, which was incorporated in December 2016, said the company “remains engaged in its core grocery retail business,” and that it would “continue to operate its remaining store network.” “The closure of certain stores…is aimed at improving the company’s long-term profitability, overall operational efficiency, and aligning store network with market conditions,” it added. Based on AllDay annual reports, it had a peak of 40 stores in 2023 and 2024. Thus, its number of stores has fallen by 67%. Rappler graphic based on AllDay Marts annual reports, corporate disclosures, and press release AllDay disclosed a net profit of P369 million as of December 2023, which fell 27% to P268 million as of December 2024. Sales also fell 9.2% from P10.1 billion in December 2023 to P9.25 billion in December 2024. It said this was “brought about by low-performing stores where there is intense market competition.” On Wednesday, AllDay said that in order “improve profitability,” it would “optimize its supermarket operations by selectively adopting smaller mini-mart formats to enhance operational efficiency and better serve its target market.” “The company will also focus on cost discipline, and active liquidity management, including working capital optimization and prudent cash prioritization — while maximizing the value of its existing footprint to restore sustainable profitability,” it said. HAKOT. Shoppers take advantage of AllDay Supermarket’s ‘Hakot Sale’ in select stores in Metro Manila, Calabarzon, and Pampanga, based on photos posted online by the retail chain. Photo from AllDay Supermarket’s Facebook page Last July 2, AllDay Supermarket’s official Facebook account posted an “AllDay Payday Hakot Sale” with steep discounts ranging from 50% to 75% on selected items at its stores in Mandaluyong City; Taguig City; Santa Rosa City, Laguna; General Trias City, Cavite; and in Pampanga. The posts also showed consumers taking advantage of the sale, filling up grocery carts with various discounted items. The president and chief operating officer of AllHome and also of all AllDay resigned last year amid a drop in corporate earnings, as disclosed in September 2025. AllHome and AllDay chairman Manny Villar had reported record sales for AllDay in 2021 or five years ago, describing it as “stellar” and “consistent performance.” (READ: Tracking the fallout of Manny Villar’s spot in Forbes’ list of richest individuals) In the same release five years ago, then-AllValue president and now-senator Camille Villar said AllDay’s growth since it started operations was “a product of our propensity to innovate and remain on the cutting edge of retail consumer trends.” She added, “AllDay has and will always continue to innovate to stay a step ahead of the local supermarket landscape.” Retail was seen as complementary to the Villars’ housing projects, having built over 500,000 homes that made it the “largest homebuilder” in the country. This “synergy,” AllHome said in its 2022 annual report, gave “AllHome easy access to a captive market and ideal locations in growing residential communities nationwide, enabling its rapid store network growth.” In 2025, Rappler published this exclusive report on some suppliers of the Villars’ coffee retail brand Coffee Project not getting paid on time. – Rappler.com
