Villar retail arm eyes expansion of coffee shops

All Value Holdings Corp., the Villar Group’s retail arm, is aiming to venture into the coffee business by introducing up to 20 stores of its Coffee Project shops in the next 12 months.

“I have always liked coffee shops. I think there is a big room for coffee shops in the country. There are different niches for this. On the business aspect I would like ours to offer something that is food-related,” Manuel Villar, who is also the chairman of listed realty firm Vista Land and Lifescape, told reporters during the opening of Coffee Project’s third branch in Tomas Morato Extension in Quezon City.
