Event Summary

Robinsons Retail Holdings is closing all 11 of its No Brand standalone stores in the Philippines by the end of June 2026. This decision, announced by Stanley C. Co, President and CEO of Robinsons Retail Holdings, is part of the company's strategy to simplify its portfolio and focus on retail formats that deliver strong and sustainable returns, reflecting evolving consumer preferences. No Brand was introduced to the Philippine market in 2019 through a master franchise agreement between Robinsons Retail Holdings and Emart of South Korea. The closure is not expected to have a material impact on Robinsons Retail Holdings' financial performance, as No Brand accounts for approximately 0.2% of annual net sales and a very small portion of the company's total assets.
