Puppy love drives Manny Villar to expand PetBuddy

With more people enjoying the lifestyle of working from home and spending more time with their fur babies, ultra bilyonaryo Manny Villar wants to make the most of the growing love for pets.

After opening its pilot branch in Evia Lifestyle Center in 2021, Villar’s PetBuddy has added a new pipeline of four new stores this year under AllHome’s mall specialty format.

The four new PetBuddy outlets — located in Sta. Rosa, NOMO in Bacoor, Antipolo and Taguig – increased AllHome’s store network to 62 (23 large mall-based, 18 large free-standing, and 21 small specialty stores).

With AllHome’s commitment to serve its customers better, it continuously explores new concepts to expand its full suite of offerings to cater to customers’ home needs.

AllHome chairman Manny Villar said: “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.”

Euromonitor International expects pet care to continue to grow as the Philippine economy recovers from the impact of the COVID-19 crisis.

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.
