AllHome Corp. is venturing into the pet care business.
The Villar Family-controlled listed retailer said it has opened five stores of PetBuddy. These are in Evia Lifestyle Center, Sta. Rosa, NOMO in Bacoor, Antipolo and Taguig.
In addition to carrying a comprehensive line of pet care products and a wide selection of quality imported pet products, PetBuddy also offers grooming and day care services, available in each of its five stores.
“PetBuddy stores are classified under the chain’s small specialty format. The launching of these new stores this year have increased the total of small specialty stores to 21 and has increased AllHome’s store network to 62 — with 23 large mall-based, 18 large free-standing, and 21 small specialty stores,” AllHome said.
“There is a natural synergy between the building and maintaining of a home and the care of pets, and we are excited to build further on the convenience and value of the AllHome retail experience with PetBuddy. We are confident that we can apply the same elevated and upgraded product and experience offering that we banner with each AllHome store to a growing pet care market in the Philippines,” said Manny Villar, AllHome chairman.
Villar noted that pets are “part and parcel of the home experience.” “And home-oriented lifestyle trends experienced a key catalyst during the pandemic, with pet adoption garnering sustained interest from Filipinos as a means to release stress and boredom,” he said.
