Super minimart chain Alfamart continues to reach out to more communities amid the pandemic, with many stores to be added this year.
Alfamart Philippines chief operating officer Harvey Ong said the company was on track to expanding its retail footprint to over 1,200 stores this year with the opening of at least 200 stores across Luzon in 2021.
“We continue to be guided by our company purpose of uplifting the lives of residents in underserved communities. We bring this to life by opening stores close to where our customers live and offering them a wide assortment of essential merchandise to address their daily and weekly needs,” Ong said.
Alfamart seeks to play a bigger role in community development by supporting local entrepreneurs, living up to its tagline, “Always here for You”.
“We want every Alfamart store to benefit its local community by generating employment, providing rental income to its lessors, and creating opportunities for local suppliers. We also enable local businesses–such as carinderias and sari-sari stores–who turn to us when they need supplies,” Ong said.
