Alfamart is on track to expand its retail footprint to over 1,200 stores this year with the opening of at least 200 stores across Luzon in 2021, according to Harvey Ong, Alfamart Philippines chief operating officer.
Ong said the expansion to underserved communities will address the daily needs of residents while enabling local entrepreneurs access to its supply chain.
In its bigger stores, Alfamart invites local entrepreneurs to set up businesses in the store vicinity, enabling them to tap into Alfamart’s strategic locations.
“A growing number of bills payment kiosks, food kiosks and laundry shops, are partnering with us to offer their products and services to our shoppers, “ Ong added.
Alfamart is a joint venture between SM and Alfamart Indonesia, one of the leading mini-market chain operators with more than 17,000 outlets in Indonesia.
