Robinsons Retail Holdings Inc.

Robinsons Retail Holdings, Inc. is one of the Philippines' largest multi-format retailers in the Philippines, founded by the late entrepreneur John L. Gokongwei, Jr. with the opening of the first Robinsons Department Store in Manila in 1980. After over four decades of continued operations, we have developed a broad and diverse portfolio that serves the Filipino consumer which include supermarkets, drugstores, department stores, do-it-yourself stores, convenience stores, appliances, toys, mass merchandise, beauty, and pet retail. With a store network of over 2,300 stores and more than 2,100 franchised community drugstores under TGP, we continue to expand and bring modern retail to untapped markets and underserved areas with a holistic business approach that prioritizes sustainability in an ever changing economic landscape and relies on our culture of customer-centricity to engage and delight shoppers with responsive and relevant products and services. Our pivot towards omnichannel retail allows us to leverage our strong ties with leading mall developers in the country, serving as anchor tenants for Robinsons Malls, to expand our physical footprint while our presence in the e-commerce space accelerates the transition. At Robinsons Retail, we strive to foster meaningful relationships with our people, our stakeholders, and the communities we serve—a reflection of our commitment to creating shared successes and contributing to the growth of local economies.
