Say Goodbye to Your Fave K-Snacks: No Brand Is Officially Exiting the Philippines

(SPOT.ph) Has the K-fever or Hallyu wave died down in recent years? Well, not really—not with K-pop still dominating the music charts and K-dramas still trending on streaming platforms. But that same power doesn’t seem to extend to all things Korean. Take No Brand, for instance.

The Korean grocery chain under Gokongwei Group's Robinsons Retail Holdings, Inc. (RRHI) has announced the closure of the No Brand standalone stores in the Philippines by the end of June 2026. The closure comes nearly seven years after the brand opened its first local branch at Robinsons Galleria in November 2019.

“The decision reflects evolving consumer preferences and how customers are choosing to shop across our retail formats,” said RRHI President and CEO Stanley C. Co. “Our focus remains on meeting customer needs by providing relevant assortments in the most appropriate formats. We thank Emart for the partnership over the past several years.”

As of January 2026, these are the remaining No Brand branches in the Philippines:

• Alabang Town Center

• Ayala Center Cebu

• Ayala Malls Manila Bay

• Ayala Malls Trinoma

• Festival Mall

• Glorietta 4 Makati

• Robinsons Antipolo

• Robinsons Ermita

• Robinsons Metro East

• Shangri-La

• UP Town Center

So, while there's no confirmation if Robinsons Supermarket, Shopwise, and Marketplace will carry No Brand products (as opposed to standalone No Brand stores), it might be a good time to stock up on your favorite snacks and essentials like the Gorgonzola Cheese Soft Corn and Purple Sweet Potato Chips.
