Australian brand Anko has officially launched its second store at Alabang Town Center in Muntinlupa City, bringing its signature in-store experience to this vibrant Metro Manila retail hub.

Offering quality and affordability, Anko provides a broad spectrum of home and lifestyle products. From kitchen and dining essentials to storage and stylish décor, plus journaling stationery, kids’ art supplies, and beauty and wellness items, Anko ensures everyday low prices across its entire range.

Expressing her positive feelings about the new location, Anko Philippines Country Manager Rachel Turner also acknowledged the warm welcome from the South community, adding, “Not only do we bring Anko closer to more families, but the opening of this store will bring in new jobs to the area.”

“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 of Anko’s new store was a lively celebration with something for everyone. Attendees, including special guests and shoppers, could enjoy face painting, a play-and-create area, nail and massage services, a coffee bar, and upbeat live music, making it a real community event.

Launching just in time for Mother’s Day and the summer season, the new store offers a range of relevant products. Highlights include the microwave toastie maker (P660), a go-to snack for Anko ambassador Anne Curtis, fragrant candles at an affordable P220, the P220 Eden bath towel for a relaxing home spa, and a stylish P620 glassware set perfect for serving cool summer treats.

Enjoy exclusive benefits by using the Anko Club app

Anko celebrated the new store opening by unveiling its first loyalty program, the Anko Club. This app gives members exclusive access to VIP events, product launches, and online and in-store activities. Members can easily register, earn rewards for participating, and engage with brand personalities. The app also serves as a convenient digital pass for event entry.

The Anko Club app keeps members connected and engaged through interactive challenges, push notifications, and personalized or group in-app messaging. As an opening day bonus, customers who registered on the app and followed Anko Philippines on Instagram received special 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.
