Anko, a beloved home and lifestyle brand from Australia, is preparing to expand its presence in the Philippines with the opening of its second branch at Alabang Town Center in Muntinlupa City. Known for offering a wide range of stylish and affordable products, Anko is becoming a go-to destination for those looking to enhance their homes, enrich their playtime experiences, and explore beauty essentials.
Anko’s second store is set to open in May 2025, and the brand is already building excitement with a striking board-up display on the ground floor of Alabang Town Center. The display prominently features the words “May 2025,” hinting at the perfect timing for Filipino shoppers to visit the store as it coincides with important shopping periods like Mother’s Day, the back-to-school season, and summer vacations. This thoughtful timing positions Anko as an ideal stop for shoppers seeking new products for these key moments.
The display also emphasizes Anko’s core category—HOME. PLAY. BEAUTY—providing a sneak peek at the variety of products the store will offer. Shoppers can expect to find stylish and functional home essentials, arts and crafts supplies, and beauty products that will cater to various tastes and needs. This wide selection ensures that customers will find something for every occasion, whether they are sprucing up their living space, engaging in creative hobbies, or enhancing their beauty routines.

Anko’s successful entry into the Philippine market began in November 2024 with the opening of its first store at Glorietta 2 in Makati City. The response from Filipino shoppers was overwhelmingly positive, as many were eager to explore the brand’s unique blend of contemporary designs and affordable prices. The success of this first location laid the foundation for Anko’s rapid expansion in the country, with the Alabang Town Center store being the next milestone in its growth.

The brand has long been a household name in Australia and New Zealand, selling over a billion products annually and becoming known for its ability to provide stylish, high-quality items at unbeatable prices. Anko’s commitment to offering excellent value for money has made it a favorite among consumers, and this strong reputation is now being shared with Filipino shoppers.
As the brand continues to expand within the Philippines, Anko is quickly gaining popularity for its ability to deliver products that meet the diverse needs of Filipino consumers.
