Alfamart: Improving lives, one super minimart at a time

• March 3, 2020
• 2 minute read

When we hear the word “progress”, images of roads, buildings, and an urbanized lifestyle come to mind. That is all well and good for those residing in so-called “Imperial Manila” but, for most, progress comes at a sustained pace and a grassroots-level scale–a freshly paved road, a new tricycle terminal, or in the case of many developing towns in the north and south, a clean and convenient Super Minimart.

Alfamart, the first and only Super Minimart chain in the Philippines, is very familiar with the positive effects of opening up a store in small towns. Ever since they opened their first store in Trese Martires, Cavite back in 2014, they have been guided by their advocacy of improving overall quality-of-life in the locales they operate in.

Fast forward to today, Alfamart now has 800 stores (their latest one recently opened at Don Ramon Ave., San Fernando, Pampanga). From Cavite, to Laguna, to Bulacan, and finally Pampanga, Alfamart has always been guided by the same principle of improving communities, one Super Minimart at a time.

“A lot of people may overlook what a nearby Super Minimart may bring,” said Alfamart COO Harvey T. Ong. “In our six-year tenure of growing the Alfamart brand, we saw how much a small town has changed by the presence of a clean and convenient Super Minimart where people, especially the housewives, can get their daily needs at everyday low prices,” he added.

Alfamart opened its first store in Pampanga in 2018 and have, since then, been concentrating some of their effort in the area. “Like all the other areas that we’ve expanded into, we see Pampanga as an epicenter of urban growth and community development here in the north,” Ong said.

However, Ong reiterated that their goal is not just to expand for the sake of expanding. They are still committed to their advocacy in improving communities. “As more families establish themselves here, we’d like to provide them with an accessible Super Minimart that has all their needs within reach,” he explained. “By giving them convenience, we hope that affords them more quality time to spend with their respective families,” he concluded.

Marketing and Positioning Comparison: Alfamart, Indomart, 7-11 (Indonesia)

IIndonesia is highly populated country, with Jakarta as its capital city. Based on the data from Central Statistical Agency (BPS) in 2011, population in Jakarta has reached 10.187.595. It can be wide opportunity for convenience store to fulfill need of Jakarta citizen for primary and secondary goods. Convenience store become a promising field of business. In Asia, the growth of mini markets from 2011 to 2012 has reached 27%, from 114.000 to 145.318 (Nielsen 2014). Meanwhile in Indonesia, 18.9% growth rate occurred during 2009 and 22.4 growth rate during 2011. This rate was the second highest compared with Taiwan, Thailand, Korea, Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong. Society in Indonesia generally having consumptive behavior. It is a behavior when people usually buy what they want, instead what they needs. They ignore to look carefully at their true priority (Enrico, Aron & Oktavia, 2014). Moreover in Indonesia culture, people love to chat and hang out, especially teenager and young adult. Most of these young people considered hang out at convenience store as an activity that increasing their prestige. It also able to get them recognized by young society, even if they are refusing the idea of hang out at convenience store and pick somewhere else, like friends’ house, they will be labeled as “not cool” and excluded by the young people society. As the result, convenience store is growing like a mushroom in Jakarta. Many brands growth whether from Indonesia such as Alfamart, Indomaret or franchise from other countries, for instance, 7-11, Lawson, Mini Stop. Jakarta become thigh competition for convenience stores. A distance between one to another convenience store, in many areas, its only 10 – 150 meter away. Alfamart, one of the giant company of convenience store with approximately more than 7.000 stores crossed Indonesia. However, it is not instantly secure Alfamart position in convenience store market competition. Alfamart heaviest competitor is Indomaret, and new comer from United States of America, 7-11. An assessment about what they have to conquer local market, and how its marketing works still need to be conducted. This paper will using SWOT to analyze Alfamart position in Indonesia market and compared it with its competitor.

Numbers of data have shown modern market Infiltration up at the local level, one through the establishment of franchise supermarkets. The construction certainly disrupts the traditional market mechanisms and economic families, especially poor families. It should be realized as in traditional markets are social relations that sustain poor families in meeting their needs.This study shows that poor families, especially housewives from poor families develop a response to the existence of the modern market. This response is developed starts with building a social construction of fulfillment and "building" modern market, especially supermarket. They developed the concept of "safe" and "comfortable."

Background Microbiological examination of lesions found in slaughtered animals during meat inspection is an important part of public health protection as such lesions may be due to zoonotic agents that can be transmitted by meat. Examination of inflamed lymph nodes also plays a particular important role, as lymphadenitis may reflect a more widespread infection. Such lesions in sheep are mainly caused by pyogenic bacteria but also mycobacteria are occasionally found. Meat inspection data from 2017 to 2018 from southern Poland, especially from the Małopolska region, indicate that purulent or caseous lymphadenitis involving the mediastinal and tracheobronchial lymph nodes (MTLNs) is a common finding. The primary aim of the current study was to determine the aetiology of these lesions. Furthermore, it was investigated how presence of lesions was correlated with age and grazing strategy of affected sheep. Results Post-mortem examination revealed purulent or caseous lymphadenitis in the M...

Q&A with Alfamart COO Harvey Ong on Business Model

• Business Model

Alfamart is a joint venture between the SM Group and Indonesia’s Alfamart, a company with over 16,000 stores in Indonesia. Alfamart in the Philippines recently reached a milestone of over 1,000 stores in the country last November 2020, while the COVID-19 pandemic was ongoing. Its Chief Operating Officer, Harvey Ong, shares the company’s business model and why strategy is about clarity of choice in what you want to be and what you don’t want to be.

Q1: Target market: Most convenience stores are located in central business districts (CBD) or near business process outsourcing (BPO) firms. Why is Alfamart located in residential areas instead? 

A1: We have a different strategy to the traditional convenience stores. When Alfamart started in the Philippines, we decided to focus on the “underserved” areas. Residents in these areas live far from a supermarket or grocery, and usually rely on public transportation. With the heavy traffic, this makes a shopping trip time-consuming. In penetrating these areas, we provide residents access to the everyday basic needs of their family, while saving them transportation time and money. This is especially appreciated during calamities, particularly during the typhoon season and throughout this on-going pandemic.

Q2: Differentiation: I do not see frozen meats and vegetables in Alfamart Indonesia. Why is the strategy different in the Philippines?

A2: Frozen produce represent a significant portion of the Filipino families’ daily essentials. However, our target market cannot stock up on these items due to the limited space of their refrigerator or freezer at home. By being closer to our customers and giving them access to frozen food and vegetables anytime, our shoppers have come to see us as an extension of their pantry.  

Carrying these items also gives us a point of differentiation.  This helps us in communicating to the public what a mini-market is and how it is different from traditional convenience stores.

Q3: Value proposition: Other than having fresh frozen products, what is Alfamart’s value proposition in comparison to competitors in the Philippines like 7-Eleven, Mini Stop and Family Mart?

A3: Compared to traditional convenience stores, we carry a wider range of basic daily essentials for the family – including cooking and baking ingredients, milk, diapers, household cleaning and laundry products and even home furnishing. We strive to price our items as low as we can, with some items even being sold at supermarket prices.

In addition, we offer services such as bills payment or ATM in select Alfamart stores, allowing us to become a one-stop shop for our customers.

Q4: Channel: Your channel seems to position Alfamart as the principal store of housewives, instead of for snacks or quick replenishment for employees like other convenience stores. But SaveMore is the brand SM used for supermarkets outside SM Malls. Why was the SaveMore brand not enough to serve residential communities?

A4: SaveMore and Alfamart play different roles in serving our residential communities. SaveMore has a wider assortment compared to Alfamart, offering more brands and size options than we do. However, not all neighborhoods have the space required to accommodate SaveMore. Alfamart focuses on those neighborhoods, as they are the areas that need us the most.

SaveMore and Alfamart complement each other in fulfilling the needs of our customers. It is not uncommon for shoppers to visit both our stores, but the purpose of the trip might be different. A housewife may prefer SaveMore to regularly stock-up on items lasting her a week or more. These are planned visits, as the shopping journey requires more time and planning.

On the other hand, Alfamart shoppers usually purchase essentials that can last them only for a few days.  These include “fill-in” grocery items that need to be replenished and will last just enough until their next bulk grocery shopping.  We have daily shoppers who come for fresh and perishable items, most likely to be consumed on the day of purchase. And we also have unplanned visits, where shoppers rely on us for urgent needs arising from unforeseen or unexpected events.

Q5: Customer Bonding Strategy: Entering an Alfamart in the Philippines, you see customers dressing down similarly to how they would be in a Bayad Center or buying take out in a Chooks-To-Go neighborhood chicken stall. What do you want the Alfamart customer experience to be? 

A5: I once approached one of our customers to ask why she regularly shopped in our store. She answered that she felt at home in Alfamart, so much so that she didn’t even have to “dress up”. True enough, she was in her house clothes! We want our shoppers to feel welcome, safe and at home in Alfamart. So, meeting her really made my day.

As the face of Alfamart, our store frontliners also play a critical role in bonding with our customers.  We only have a few people working in the stores, so it is inevitable that they eventually recognize and become familiar with our regular customers (and vice versa). Sometimes, I even observe our store personnel exchanging pleasantries while serving their customers. During the pandemic, a lot of our customers left behind cards and letters thanking our crew for keeping our stores open. Unexpectedly, some even left behind food and treats!  This is a welcome sign of the bonds we are developing with the community.

Ultimately, the customer experience is determined by the employee experience. We need to constantly improve ourselves as employers and leaders to keep our employees engaged and motivated.

Q6: Operating Model: How are the operations and store sizes of an Alfamart different from competition?

A6: We’re generally two or three times bigger than traditional convenience stores. This size is ideal as it is large enough to offer the assortment that our market needs, while being small enough to be near the neighborhood.

Sometimes, when we have excess space, we sublease a small part of our store to a local small business.  You may see a laundry service or perhaps, a delicacies booth, attached to our stores. Partnering with local small businesses enables us to provide additional offerings to our shoppers. Equally important, it gives us an opportunity to contribute to building the local community.

Q7: Pilferage is a big headache for retail stores. Some supermarkets have 2% which may offset economies of scale brought by the superior bargaining power of the SM Group.  How are you preventing this problem?

A7: We have a Loss Prevention Group that regularly monitors to help minimize pilferage. In cases involving employees, we make sure that due process is properly observed, and the proper sanction is meted out in compliance to labor laws. However, in my opinion, the best way to address this challenge is to have fully engaged employees. I believe that a fully engaged employee will refrain from stealing from our own company and will stop others from doing so.

So, we strive to build a work culture that is supportive, inclusive, and people-centric. We want our employees to feel like they have a home in Alfamart.

Q8: Vision: Alfamart has over 16,000 stores in Indonesia. During the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, you have practically opened more than 1 new store per day. With this speed, how many potential stores can you open in the Philippines within the next 10 years? Wasn’t the original plan to open 5,000 stores in 5 years?

A8: We’ve achieved our first phase goal of opening 1,000 stores by 2020. We remain excited about the potential in the Philippines. Indonesia currently has more than 40,000 minimart stores.  Taking into consideration the population of the two countries, I believe the Philippines will be able to support 10,000 minimarts.

How do you feel about this story?

Super Minimart chain Alfamart continues to reach out to more communities even amidst the pandemic, with many new stores to be added this year.

Harvey Ong, Alfamart Philippines Chief Operating Officer, said the company is on track to expand its retail footprint to over 1,200 stores this year with the opening of at least 200 stores across Luzon in 2021.

“We continue to be guided by our company purpose of uplifting the lives of residents in underserved communities. We bring this to life by opening stores close to where our customers live and offering them a wide assortment of essential merchandise to address their daily and weekly needs,” Mr. Ong said.

Alfamart seeks to play a bigger role in community development by supporting local entrepreneurs, living up to its tagline, “Always here for You”.

“We want every Alfamart store to benefit its local community by generating employment, providing rental income to its lessors and creating opportunities for local suppliers. We also enable local businesses – such as carinderias and sari-sari stores – who turn to us when they need supplies,” Mr. Ong said.

In its bigger stores, Alfamart invites local entrepreneurs to set up businesses in the store vicinity, enabling them to tap into Alfamart’s strategic locations.

“A growing number of bills payment kiosks, food kiosks and laundry shops, are already partnering with us to offer their products and services to our shoppers. Partnerships are especially relevant now that everyone is reeling from the economic effects of the pandemic. In our own way, we hope to support other individuals or businesses who need a hand to get back on their feet,” Mr. Ong adds.

Alfamart is a joint venture between SM and Alfamart Indonesia, one of the leading mini-market chain operators with more than 17,000 outlets in Indonesia.

Alfamart caters to all different types of customers and provides everything from their smallest to biggest needs as it offers basic groceries, select SM Bonus products, fresh and frozen items, snacks such as Turon, and personal care products at affordable prices.

Martiniano “Degs” Valencia (center), a former OFW, is enjoying the fruits of his decision to become a partner and co-owner of the Alfamart in his hometown in Sta. Rita, Pampanga. Degs’ branch helped his local community survive the pandemic during the resulting lockdowns.

He had to put a pause on his passion for business when he entered the workforce. First as a broadcast engineer for a big TV network in the Philippines, then as a technical controller in Dubai. After more than a decade of being an employee, he and his wife decided to come back to the Philippines, which also turned to an opportunity to reignite Degs’ entrepreneurial spirit.

Degs invested most of his earnings on his land in Sta. Rita, building a commercial complex. That’s when he was approached by Alfamart with a partnership offer, to become a lessor of an Alfamart branch in his hometown. And the rest, as they say, is history.

“I always wanted to have a grocery store as a main business,” Degs said. “Alfamart did us one better and gave us the opportunity to partner with a Super Minimart,” he added.

When the pandemic struck, Degs lost some income because some of the tenants in his commercial complex closed down. Despite that, they survived because they had the Alfamart branch that sustained them. “We’re glad that [our branch] was able to remain open as people still did need a nearby Super Minimart, especially when people were not allowed to travel too far from their homes,” he said. “The community helped our branch survive and vice-versa,” he shared.

The dynamics between the community and the store encouraged Degs to offer up his other lots as possible Alfamart locations. Currently, Alfamart is working on opening a new branch at Deg’s other property in the neighboring municipality of Guagua.

Alfamart is looking forward to partnering with more people like Degs. “After 1,000 stores, we’re still moving forward with plans to reach more areas in the country. And we’ll pretty much do what we did before, find the perfect people and businesses to partner with,” said Alfamart Philippines COO Harvey Ong. “We definitely have more in store for our partners, both current and potential. Whether they are product consignees, suppliers, tenants, or lessors, we will always grow with them and the communities our branches serve,” Ong added.
