  "account": "The Villar Group has reduced the number of its AllHome and AllDay stores as part of its strategy to optimize the store network. In a recent filing to the stock exchange, AllHome Corp., the one-stop full-line home center, reported its network has decreased to 34 from 47 as of December 2025. On the other hand, AllDay Marts Inc., which operates AllDay Supermarkets, now has 13 stores compared to its 26-store network at the end of 2025.\n\nBoth companies clarified that these closures are in line with their store rationalization policy, which seeks to enhance long-term profitability, boost operational efficiency, and adjust the store network to meet changing market conditions. They emphasized that these steps are meant to improve operational efficiency and contribute to the long-term profitability of their existing retail businesses.\n\n\"AllHome and AllDay stated that the closures and downsizing of underperforming locations are part of their plan to optimize productivity and achieve a more cost-effective structure,\" the companies explained. \"By aligning store operations with sales throughput, customer traffic, and operational requirements, the company can adjust manpower levels and minimize unnecessary expenses without compromising service quality and operational effectiveness.\"\n\nThe Villar Group is now focusing on optimizing its size, adhering to cost discipline, and managing liquidity actively. This includes optimizing working capital and making prudent cash prioritization decisions. Furthermore, the group aims to maximize the value of its current retail footprint rather than expanding further in an effort to restore sustainable profitability.",
