Puregold Price Club

Puregold Price Club is one of the largest supermarket and grocery retailers in the Philippines, part of businessman Lucio Co's Cosco Capital group. It runs hypermarkets and supermarkets aimed at value-conscious households and small neighbourhood resellers (the "tingi" and sari-sari trade), and also operates the S&R membership warehouse club, which targets higher-income shoppers and businesses. Puregold offers investors direct exposure to everyday Filipino grocery spending, a defensive and recurring category.
