AllHome and AllDay Cut Store Counts to 34 and 13 Outlets

Villar-owned retail companies AllHome and AllDay confirmed store network contractions on Wednesday, October 7, following financial losses and stiff retail competition.
Separate disclosures to the Philippine Stock Exchange show home improvement chain AllHome cut its store count to 34 as of September 29, 2026, down 26 percent from 47 at the end of 2025. Grocery operator AllDay Marts reduced its network by 50 percent over the same period, dropping from 26 locations to 13.
Network shrinkage across home and grocery formats
The retrenchment represents a steep reversal for two retail chains that expanded aggressively across Villar residential developments over the past decade. AllHome operated 72 outlets at its peak across 2023 and 2024, after starting with just four branches in 2013 and listing on the local bourse in 2019. Its current 34 locations include large mall-based, large free-standing, and small specialty outlets.
AllDay opened its first grocery branch in late 2016 and expanded to 40 supermarkets by 2024. The current fleet of 13 stores leaves the grocery operator with less than a third of its peak footprint. The company told the exchange it will reorient remaining operations toward smaller mini-mart formats to lower overhead and protect liquidity.
Earnings collapse and anchor space turnover
Financial results explain the sudden retreat from large-format retail. AllHome posted a net loss of 36.4 million pesos for the first nine months of 2025, swinging from a net profit of 384 million pesos during the prior-year period. AllDay saw full-year 2024 net profit decline 27 percent to 268 million pesos as revenue fell 9.2 percent to 9.25 billion pesos, citing intense competition in low-performing catchment areas.

Mall landlords within the group are already reallocating space to outside operators. The Philippine Stock Exchange questioned both companies after reports surfaced that Gokongwei Group brand Shopwise will take over the anchor space previously occupied by AllHome at Vista Mall in Santa Rosa City, Laguna. Inventory clearance sales across Cavite, Laguna, Mandaluyong, Taguig, and Pampanga preceded the closures, with promotional markdowns reaching 75 percent.
Rethinking township retail integration
The contraction exposes structural limits in relying on captive housing developments for retail foot traffic. The Villar group built more than 500,000 residential units nationwide and positioned its retail chains as natural amenities for those master-planned subdivisions. While property integration gave AllHome and AllDay fast access to commercial land, it insulated both brands from direct competitive pressure only temporarily.
Rival operators with stronger supplier terms, deeper private-label assortments, and more efficient logistics chains have consistently pressured independent township stores. When housing construction slowed and consumer spending tightened, foot traffic inside standalone township malls failed to generate the volumes required to support big-box home depots and premium supermarkets. Handing anchor tenancy to external chains such as Shopwise indicates that property management now prioritizes stable rental yield over internal ecosystem synergy.
Leadership departures and operating reset
Management instability accompanied the downturn well before the latest round of store shutdowns. The shared president and chief operating officer of AllHome and AllDay resigned in September 2025 as earnings began to deteriorate. That executive exit followed earlier public statements from chairman Manny Villar and former AllValue president Camille Villar celebrating record sales figures from the post-pandemic reopening.
Both companies now face the task of defending their remaining assets while containing operating debt. AllDay is adjusting store layouts to focus on working capital optimization, cash conservation, and smaller-format convenience retailing. Investors and suppliers will monitor third-quarter 2026 financial statements and upcoming lease filings to see whether the network consolidation stabilizes operating margins or triggers further asset impairments.
