Robinsons Retail to close No Brands stores

Robinsons Retail Holdings Inc. is shutting the operations of No Brand standalone stores in the Philippines.

In a statement on Wednesday, Robinsons Retail said it will gradually wind down operations of all 11 No Brand stores by the end of June 2026.

The company said the move is consistent with its overall strategy and ongoing efforts to simplify its portfolio and focus on retail formats that “deliver strong and sustainable returns.”

No Brand was introduced to the Philippine market in 2019 through a master franchise agreement between Robinsons Retail and Emart of South Korea, the owner of No Brand.

Robinsons Retail said it does not expect a material impact on its financial performance from the store closures as No Brand accounts for approximately 0.2% of annual net sales and constitutes a very small portion of its total assets. 

The company added that No Brand’s 11 stores are immaterial relative to its network of more than 2,700 company-owned stores—including 157 Robinsons Supermarket, 159 Robinsons Easymart, 38 The Marketplace, 16 Shopwise, and 415 Uncle John’s under its food segment—and over 2,100 franchised TGP branches, as of December 31, 2025.

“The decision reflects evolving consumer preferences and how customers are choosing to shop across our retail formats,” said Robinsons Retail president and CEO Stanley Co. 

“Our focus remains on meeting customer needs by providing relevant assortments in the most appropriate formats. We thank Emart for the partnership over the past several years,” said Co.—AOL, GMA Integrated News
