ALL VALUE Holdings Corp.,
the holding firm for the Villar group’s retail ventures, is expanding the
existing stores of its chain of full-service home furnishing shop AllHome amid
strong demand from both vendors and consumers.

In a statement, AllHome
said it increased the size of the AllHome branch in San Fernando, Pampanga by
more than four times to almost 10,000 square meters (sqm) from the original
2,240 sqm.
“The expansion was needed
to allow us to increase product offerings and have bigger spaces for new
categories like Beyond Basic, Quick Fix, AllHome Appliances, and Fashion @
Home,” AllHome said, adding that it also widened the range of items and
services available in the store.
AllHome aims to serve all
the home building and improvement needs of the ABC market ranging from
professionals, contractors, and homeowners.
Aside from Pampanga,
AllHome outlets in Taguig and San Jose del Monte will also be expanded to
accommodate more product offerings.
While it is expanding its
smaller outlets, AllHome also continues to open new stores. It is targeting to
open eight stores starting this March to end the year with a network of 20
branches, All Value Chairman Manuel B. Villar, Jr. had said in November.
Since launching its first
store in 2013, AllHome quickly expanded in the metropolis. The newest branch,
the four-level AllHome Vista Place at the Wil Tower Mall in Quezon City, opened
last November.
The expansion of AllHome is
seen riding on the robust growth of the residential sector where Mr. Villar
also has an interest through Vista Land & Lifescapes, Inc., a leading
homebuilder in the country. -- Krista Angela M. Montealegre
