The promising future of Rex might have been cut short in the 1950s after a conflagration hit its first store in Morayta, Manila.  Thought to have been a miracle after an unblemished prayer book with the inscription Jesus Save Me was found on the site of the fire, the founders of Rex Book Store saw it as a clear indication that all was not lost for them to rebuild another one.

For more than five decades from its humble beginnings in Azcarraga Street, in Morayta, Rex Book Store has continuously expanded its reach. Currently, it has ten branches all over the Philippines.  These are strategically located in the following key areas: Cebu (1986), Shaw (1989), Makati and Davao (1991), Iloilo (1993), Cubao (1994), Cagayan de Oro and Urdaneta (1997), Legaspi City (1998), Rockwell and Cavite (1999), General Santos City (2000), Cabanatuan and Pampanga (2001), and Tacloban (2002).

Together with its affiliates, the Rex Printing Co., Rex Publications, Inc., Rex Commercial Division, and Rex Oasis of Arts and Culture (ROAC), RBSI under its parent company, the Rex Group of Companies, have since grown into a visionary and pioneering corporation helmed by a group of conscientious individuals who envision a local publishing industry thriving with Filipino pride and talent.
