RRHI STORE EXPANSION | CO-LAB EXCHANGE NEWSLETER EDITORS NOTE BY RUTHER JOHN GARCIA – SMALL FORMATS The Co-Lab Exchange Issue No. 1 Where Expansion Meets Collaboration | Bulwagang Heneral Luna | RRHI Store Expansion An editorial newsletter capturing the launch, people, ideas, momentum behind the first Co-Lab Exchange. INSIDE THE LAUNCH THE PEOPLE BEHIND STORE NETWORK & OUTLOOK WHAT WE HEARD THE EXPANSION MINDSET THE FIRST CHAPTER A New Name for a New Way of Working 01 / THE LAUNCH On January 16, 2026, the RRHI Store Expansion Department gathered for more than another coordination meeting. It was the beginning of something new. Introduced by Ruther John “RJ” B. Garcia, Store Expansion Manager – Lease Management, CO-LAB EXCHANGE was unveiled as the new name for what had traditionally been known as the Store Expansion Coordination Meeting. “Store Expansion is not a one-team function. It is a collaborative exchange.” The first assembly created a shared platform to exchange plans, surface opportunities, share challenges, align priorities and connect the dots across business units—from site sourcing and acquisition to lease management, supermarkets, specialty retail, appliances, DIY, pharmacy and lifestyle concepts.

EXPANSION MUST BE DATA-DRIVEN Growth decisions should combine data analytics, on-the-ground insight, market potential, accessibility, competition, rental economics, customer behavior and lessor support. NOT EVERY GROWTH STORY IS A NEW STORE Growth can mean opening, relocating, renovating, downsizing, right-sizing, converting, co-locating—or making the right decision to exit. LEASE MANAGEMENT IS PART OF EXPANSION Renewals, concessions, contract management, lessor relationships and timely decisions are critical to keeping the network healthy. “A site for one business can become an opportunity for another.”

RRHI STORE EXPANSION | CO-LAB EXCHANGE NEWSLETER EDITORS NOTE BY RUTHER JOHN GARCIA – SMALL FORMATS From Coordination to Co-Laboration 05 / THE EXPANSION MINDSET The first CO-LAB EXCHANGE brought together people who may normally look at expansion from different angles: Sourcing. Leasing. Operations. Finance. Business Units. Developers. Lessors. Yet everyone works toward the same objective: PUT THE RIGHT BUSINESS IN THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME. The Store Expansion Department’s 2026 agenda reflect a substantial pipeline across the RRHI network, including new stores, site acquisition, co-location, lease events and strategic network optimization. A SHARED VIEW OF GROWTH New Stores – Relocate – Renovate - Right-size- Co-locate For Small Formats, the 2026 direction included continued expansion, lease renewals, concessions, and stronger support systems, including proactive lease monitoring and alignment across regions. The Lease Intelligence Agent (LIA) pilot was also highlighted to support monitoring of upcoming lease expirations and timely renewals. The Exchange Continues 06/ THE FIRST CHAPTER January 16, 2026 was more than a date in the Store Expansion calendar. It marked the launch of a new way of coming together. “CO-LAB EXCHANGE is where ideas meet opportunities.” Where one team’s challenge can become another team’s solution. Where one business unit’s site can become another’s expansion opportunity. Where information becomes alignment—and where alignment becomes action. From RE and UJ to supermarkets, Shopwise and TMP, RDS and Toys “R” Us, DIY, Daiso, Appliances, Premium Bikes, Southstar Drug, Rose Pharmacy and the many concepts that make up the RRHI retail ecosystem, the exchange created a common space to see not only each team’s pipeline, but the possibilities around it. Every great store begins with a great collaboration.
