8 May 2025, Philippines – 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.

Anko offers quality and affordable home and lifestyle products, from everyday essentials like kitchen and dinnerware to storage solutions and trendy décor. It also provides stationery items like notebooks and pens for journaling enthusiasts, plus arts and crafts for kids, beauty and wellness products — all 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.”

Anko’s Opening Day Celebration with Seasonal Finds

The opening day buzzed with excitement, offering activities for everyone. Esteemed guests and shoppers enjoyed face painting, hands-on fun, and pampering at the nail and massage station. Fresh coffee brews, lively music, and creative activities made Anko’s newest store a vibrant community gathering spot.

Perfectly timed for Mother’s Day and summer, the new store showcases seasonal finds like the ₱660 microwave toastie maker. This quick-snack favorite of Anko ambassador Anne Curtis pairs well with fragrant candles for ₱220 and Eden bath towels for ₱220. Shoppers can also grab a chic glassware set for ₱620 — perfect for serving refreshing slushies.

Unlock exclusive perks with the Anko Club app

To make the event even more special, Anko launched its first-ever loyalty program, the Anko Club, for customers. The app offers members access to exclusive events like VIP experiences, product launches, and exciting online and in-store activations.

Users can easily register, earn participation rewards, and engage with brand ambassadors and influencers, enhancing the shopping experience. Member information on the app also acts as a digital pass for quick event check-ins.

Anko Club features interactive challenges, push notifications, and both custom and group in-app messaging, keeping members engaged and connected. 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.
