Australian home and lifestyle brand Anko has officially opened its second store in the Philippines, located at the ground floor of Alabang Town Center in Muntinlupa City.
The launch follows the successful debut of Anko’s pioneer branch at Glorietta 2 in November 2024 and sets the stage for further expansion in Metro Manila, with a third store slated to open soon in Trinoma, Quezon City.
“We’re incredibly excited to open our Alabang store and bring Anko closer to even more Filipino families. Since launching in Glorietta, we’ve been overwhelmed by the warm welcome from the local community. This journey has been a whirlwind—in the best way—and we’re committed to continuing it by listening closely to our customers,” said Anko Philippines country manager Rachel Turner, during the opening of Anko Alabang.
Anko is known for its thoughtfully designed, quality products at affordable everyday prices. The brand offers a wide range of items—from kitchenware, storage solutions, and décor to stationery, arts and crafts, beauty, and wellness essentials.
The Alabang store also debuts a slightly different layout from its Glorietta counterpart, curated specifically for the needs of South Metro shoppers. It features a locally staffed team and a welcoming environment that encourages discovery and connection.
In line with this customer-first approach, Anko continues to adapt its product assortment based on feedback.
“We’ve made changes to our range to better serve Filipino families. Our products are designed in Melbourne with global trends in mind, but we localize to ensure everything remains functional, beautiful, and relevant,” Turner explained.
Turner also introduced Anko Club, the brand’s new loyalty program and mobile app. The app offers members perks like VIP access to launches and events, plus interactive features such as challenges and messaging.
“We see no pressure from competition. We focus on staying true to our philosophy—delivering affordable, accessible, quality products that genuinely enhance everyday life,” Turner said.
