Australian home and lifestyle brand Anko has officially opened its biggest store in the Philippines at TriNoma, marking a significant milestone in its growing retail footprint. Known for offering “everyday low prices and curated, design-forward essentials,” the brand’s latest expansion aims to make stylish, functional living more accessible to Filipino families in northern Metro Manila.
Located in the heart of Quezon City, Anko TriNoma spans 1,634 square meters, with 1,421 square meters dedicated to retail space. It’s conveniently located on the ground floor of TriNoma Mall, just a short walk from the MRT North Avenue station, providing easy access for both daily commuters and weekend shoppers.
Why TriNoma? A Strategic Move for Growth
Asked why TriNoma was selected as the location for its largest store, Anko explained, “TriNoma was a natural next step for Anko’s retail growth. It’s one of the most established lifestyle destinations in Metro Manila and a key shopping hub in Quezon City, the most populous city in the country. The mall’s high foot traffic, accessibility via major transport links, and wide-reaching appeal make it an ideal place to welcome more Filipino families into the Anko experience.”
The TriNoma branch sets itself apart not just in size, but also in concept and offerings. “At nearly 2,000 sqm, TriNoma is our biggest location to date and offers the most expansive product selection across all our ranges—from Home and Kitchen to Storage, Play, Create, Beauty, and On-the-Go categories. The space was designed to encourage easy discovery, inspire everyday living, and showcase how our products work together beautifully,” the brand shared.
Interactive Experiences and Opening Week Offers
A highlight of the new store is its activation space—the first of its kind for Anko in the Philippines. “It’s a place where you can engage with our products in fun, interactive ways. Whether it’s styling a space, testing out new items, or joining a creative workshop, we want you to experience Anko in a way that’s hands-on and inspiring,” said Rachel Turner, Anko’s Country Manager.
To celebrate the store opening, Anko is hosting free family-friendly workshops starting July 9, with a special focus on its Play & Create range. According to Anko, “Early shoppers can enjoy exclusive opening week offers, especially for our Anko Club members. We also prepared fun in-store activities for kids and families, highlighting our Play & Create range.”
Designed for Rainy-Day Fun and Creativity
The Play & Create range is central to Anko’s goal of supporting family life year-round. When asked how the collection fits into the rainy season, the brand explained, “The rainy season often means more time spent indoors, but that doesn’t have to be boring. Anko’s Play & Create range is designed to turn everyday moments into opportunities for fun, imagination, and bonding at home.” The collection includes sensory kits, wooden toys, building blocks, art supplies, and imaginative play sets—perfect for cozy weekends, family game nights, or rainy-day rescue activities.
Building a Community Through the Anko Club App
To strengthen connections with customers, Anko encourages shoppers to join the Anko Club app. “The Anko Club app is our way of building a community of loyal customers and making it easier for them to access exclusive rewards, updates, and inspiration,” said the brand. Through the app, members receive early access to product drops, styling tips, event invitations, and a convenient way to track purchases and receipts. From July 1 to 31, members can also claim a free eco bag with any in-store purchase.
As part of this community-building effort, Anko also introduced the Ko Creators Program, a user-generated content campaign inviting fans to showcase how they style Anko products at home. Customers can sign up through the Anko Club app.
Sustainability and Value at the Core of Anko’s Strategy
Anko emphasized that it is not positioning itself as a budget version of premium brands, but rather as a brand that democratizes design. “We’re positioning Anko as a brand that makes great design accessible to everyone. It’s not about being a cheaper version of something else—it’s about offering well-made, beautiful, functional products at everyday low prices,” the company stated.
The brand is also serious about sustainability. “Anko is committed to reducing its environmental impact by improving how its products and packaging are designed and produced,” incorporating plant-based materials, recycled content, and renewable energy in its operations.
What’s Next for Anko in the Philippines?
Following its Glorietta 2 opening in November 2024 and Alabang Town Center in May 2025, TriNoma is Anko’s third store in the Philippines. According to the brand, “We’re continuing to work closely with Ayala Malls to explore additional locations and bring Anko closer to even more Filipino households.” Customer feedback is also shaping its expansion strategy.
While online shopping is part of the brand’s future outlook, the current focus is on in-store experiences. “Physical stores offer a unique shopping adventure, allowing customers to discover new products and trends firsthand,” Anko explained.
Anko TriNoma is open from Monday to Thursday, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., and from Friday to Sunday, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. With its central location, family-friendly features, interactive activations, and wide product selection, the store is set to become a go-to destination for design-savvy shoppers in Quezon City and beyond.
