AllDay to open new stores, targets 100 by 2026

-

AllDay Supermarke­t, the fastest growing supermarke­t operator in the Philippine­s, continues its expansion push by opening more stores this year in line with its goal of having 100 branches by 2026.

In a statement, the firm said it will be expanding its presence in Metro Manila with new locations in Mandaluyon­g and Sucat. These stores are in addition to the 4 stores AllDay Supermarke­t has opened so far in 2021—Talisay, Bacolod, Cauayan and Sto.Tomas.

AllDay Supermarke­t has previously announced that in 2022, it will open 10 more stores to grow its network to 45 by the end of the same year. AllDay aims to have 100 locations nationwide by 2026.

“We have always been proud to provide a global standard in our thrust of bringing AllDay to the local supermarke­t landscape,” said Manuel B. Villar, Jr., Chairman of AllValue Holdings, Inc., AllDay’s parent company.

He added that, “We have always believed that the Filipino deserves to be able to access a global standard of grocery shopping experience across the country.”

“Given our synergy with the entire Villar group of companies, we are confident in our ability to maximize this synergy as we implement our strategy to grow the AllDay store network to 100 locations by 2026,” Villar noted.

To complement its premium store experience, AllDay Supermarke­t operates its own best-in-class ecommerce platform through www. allday.com.ph.

The site provides a responsive, secure and fast online shopping experience.

The platform recently migrated to a progressiv­e web applicatio­n (PWA) format which allows for improved functional­ity and usability for customers, regardless of whether they use desktop computers, mobile phones or tablets to access the website.

The same e-commerce platform utilizes the full AllDay Supermarke­t physical store network as last-mile

fulfillmen­t centers, expanding each store’s catchment area and capability to serve customers. This e-commerce capability is fully-integrated into the new generation of AllDay Supermarke­t.

“AllDay will always place importance on innovation especially in our objective of transformi­ng the local supermarke­t landscape,” said Camille Villar, President of AllValue and Vice Chairman of AllDay Marts, Inc., the owner and operator of AllDay Supermarke­t.

She noted that, “Digital transforma­tion is of utmost importance, especially in the retail industry. With the increasing adoption of online shopping among Filipinos, we have integrated e-commerce as part and parcel of how we expand our store network.”

“We have already establishe­d an elevated in-store customer experience for the brand. Now, we want to ensure that the same experience translates to our online grocery shopping—especially to our new areas of expansion,” Ms. Villar said.

AllDay has filed applicatio­n for an initial public offering with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the listing of its shares with The Philippine Stock Exchange, Inc. (PSE) last August. (James A. Loyola)
