Australian home and lifestyle brand Anko is accelerating its long-term growth in the Philippines, expanding its retail network from six to nine stores across key economic and residential districts before the end of 2026.
The expansion marks a significant milestone in the brand’s local journey, taking it beyond Metro Manila for the first time since its Philippine debut in November 2024. Anko is set to enter the growing Southern Luzon market with upcoming store openings at Ayala Malls Nuvali in Laguna on November 12 and Ayala Malls Evo City in Cavite on November 27. The brand will also strengthen its presence in Metro Manila with a new location at Festival Mall in Muntinlupa on December 10.
The three new stores will occupy 1,573.11 square meters, 1,261.20 square meters, and 1,530.29 square meters, respectively.
Bringing Everyday Value Closer to Filipino Families
Anko’s expansion into Laguna and Cavite places the brand within CALABARZON, one of the Philippines’ key growth regions. By establishing stores in master-planned residential communities and major commercial developments, the brand aims to bring its affordable home and lifestyle products closer to Filipino families.
The rollout also reflects sustained consumer demand since Anko entered the local market. Its popular product selections include scented candles, children’s toys, mini kitchen tools and appliances, beauty and personal care essentials, and affordable home organization solutions.
While the new stores are opening ahead of the busy year-end retail season, Anko’s approach goes beyond holiday shopping. The brand follows an everyday low-price strategy, designing products in-house and working directly with manufacturers to maintain consistent and transparent pricing throughout the year.
This model allows value-conscious households to create stylish and functional living spaces without having to wait for seasonal sales or periodic markdowns.
Since opening its Philippine flagship store at Glorietta 2, Anko has gradually built its presence across major commercial destinations, including Alabang Town Center, TriNoma, Ayala Malls Feliz, Ayala Malls Manila Bay, and Gateway Mall in Cubao.
The upcoming Festival Mall location, owned and operated by Filinvest Land, will further expand Anko’s retail partnerships alongside Ayala Land, Rockwell Land, and the Araneta Group. The new stores are also expected to generate local employment and contribute to their surrounding communities.
“Over the past two years, the response from Filipino families has exceeded our expectations and confirmed that our everyday low-price, quality-driven proposition truly resonates here. Expanding from six to nine stores, including our first locations beyond Metro Manila, reflects our confidence in the market and our ambition to make Anko more accessible to customers,” said Arjun Puri, Chief Executive Officer of Anko Global.
“Our goal has always been to make stylish, functional home and lifestyle products accessible to more households close to home. Whether families are building out a new space, picking up daily essentials, or preparing their homes for special moments like the Christmas season, we want Anko to be a reliable partner in making everyday living brighter,” Puri added.
