Australian brand Anko has officially opened its second store at the ground floor of Alabang Town Center in Muntinlupa City. This expansion brings Anko’s signature in-store experience to one of Metro Manila’s most dynamic retail hubs.
Known for its quality and affordable home and lifestyle products, Anko offers everything from everyday essentials like kitchen and dinnerware to storage solutions and trendy décor; stationery items like notebooks and pens for those who enjoy journaling; and even arts and crafts for kids, beauty and wellness products, all offered at everyday low prices.
Anko Philippines country manager Rachel Turner expressed her excitement for the new store and her appreciation for the warm welcome from the South community. “Not only do we bring Anko closer to more families, but the opening of this store will bring in new jobs to the area,” she added.
“Our focus on making everyday living brighter means we’re committed to helping our shoppers make their hard-earned money go further. For every peso we save our customers, it’s an extra peso they can use toward bills and other payments,” Turner added.
Ayala Corporation’s managing director, Mark Robert Uy, who was present during the ribbon-cutting ceremony, shared, “We’re happy to see Anko as more than just another retail store; it’s a shopping experience that focuses on creating the best in-store experience while offering products at affordable everyday prices. We are thrilled to be part of the journey of setting up Anko Alabang Town Center store, and subsequently future stores.”
The opening day was a lively celebration filled with activities for everyone. Esteemed guests and shoppers enjoyed face painting, hands-on fun at the play-and-create area, pampering at the nail and massage station, fresh brews from the coffee bar, and upbeat live music, making Anko’s newest store a true community event.
Just in time for Mother’s Day and the summer season, the new store comes to life with seasonal finds such as the microwave toastie maker for ₱660, a quick-snack favorite of Anko ambassador and celebrity mom Anne Curtis, fragrant candles affordably priced at ₱220, Eden bath towel ₱220 to complete that home spa vibe, and chic set of glassware for ₱620 ideal for serving refreshing slushies.
Unlock exclusive perks with the Anko Club app
To make the event more special, Anko has unveiled its first-ever loyalty program called the Anko Club.
The app offers members access to exclusive events such as VIP experiences, product launches, and both online and in-store activations. Users can easily register, earn participation rewards, and engage with brand ambassadors and influencers. Member information on the app also serves as a digital pass for event check-ins.
Anko Club features include interactive challenges, push notifications, and both custom and group in-app messaging to keep members connected and engaged.
As a special treat during the opening day, customers who registered on the app and followed @anko_philippines on Instagram received exclusive welcome gifts.
“We’ve learned so much from our first store in Glorietta 2, and we promise to keep listening to our customers and understanding what they truly value. The Anko Club app will help us better connect with our customers and meet their needs. We’re creating a space–online and in-store– where people can explore, be inspired, and find their perfect match,” Turner said.
Anko currently has branches in Glorietta 2 and Alabang Town Center and has announced its upcoming third location in TriNoma, Quezon City – all part of Ayala Malls.
