Anko Expands Philippine Footprint to Nine Stores, Enters Laguna and Cavite

METRO MANILA – Australian home and lifestyle brand Anko is accelerating its long-term growth in the Philippines, expanding its retail footprint from six to nine stores across key economic and residential districts before the end of 2026.

The expansion marks a major milestone in Anko’s local journey, taking the brand beyond Metro Manila for the first time since its Philippine debut in November 2024. The brand will enter the rapidly growing Southern Luzon corridor with upcoming store openings at Ayala Malls Nuvali in Laguna on November 12 and Ayala Malls Evo City in Cavite on November 27, while simultaneously deepening its urban presence at Festival Mall in Muntinlupa on December 10. The three stores will span 1,573.11 square meters, 1,261.20 square meters, and 1,530.29 square meters, respectively.

The strategic move into Laguna and Cavite places Anko directly inside CALABARZON, one of the country’s most dynamic growth hubs. By anchoring in master-planned residential estates and key commercial developments, Anko brings its value proposition directly to where expanding Filipino families live, work, and build their homes.

Beyond physical expansion, the rollout reflects strong, sustained demand from Filipino consumers over the past two years. Anko is excited to bring its fan-favorite, everyday low-priced products to more communities, including popular lines local shoppers have already embraced, such as its scented candles, kids' toys, mini kitchen tools and appliances, beauty and personal care essentials, and budget-friendly home organization essentials.

While timed ahead of the peak year-end retail season—when families refresh their living spaces, prepare for holiday gatherings, and shop for gifts—Anko’s model goes beyond seasonal shopping. Operating on an everyday low-price strategy, the brand designs its products in-house and partners directly with manufacturers to keep pricing consistent and transparent year-round. This approach lets value-conscious Filipino households confidently curate stylish, functional homes year-round, without waiting for periodic markdowns.

The rapid network growth underscores Anko’s confidence in the Philippine market. After entering the country through its flagship location at Glorietta 2, Anko steadily established a strong urban network across prime commercial hubs, including Alabang Town Center, TriNoma, Ayala Malls Feliz, Ayala Malls Manila Bay, and Gateway Mall in Cubao.

The upcoming Festival Mall store, owned and operated by Filinvest Land, further diversifies its retail partnerships alongside Ayala Land, Rockwell Land, and the Araneta Group, demonstrating a disciplined strategy of partnering with the country's premier property developers. Each new location will also generate local employment and support 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.
