Anko, Australia’s much-loved home and lifestyle brand, is set to open its third and largest store in the Philippines in July 2025 at Ayala Group’s Trinoma Mall in Quezon City.

Spanning 1,634 square meters, the new store will offer 1,421 square meters of retail space, with the remaining area allocated for office and stockroom use to support operations efficiently.

This expansion follows Anko’s debut in the Philippines with its first store opening in Glorietta 2, Makati City, in November 2024, and the upcoming launch of its second branch in Alabang Town Center, Muntinlupa City, in May 2025.

A striking board-up in Anko’s signature magenta hue is now on display at Level 1 of Trinoma’s Activity Center, building excitement for the grand opening.

Shoppers can look forward to an expansive selection of thoughtfully designed and affordably priced products, ranging from home living essentials and smart storage solutions to beauty must-haves, nursery items, children’s toys, electronics, pet supplies, and arts and crafts.

“Opening in Trinoma is a natural next step for Anko in the Philippines. We want to be where Filipino families already shop for their homes, and Metro Manila’s top malls provide the perfect space to introduce more people to our brand,” said Arjun Puri, CEO of Anko Global.

Puri noted Anko’s efficient product development process, which enables the brand to provide quality home essentials at consistently low prices.

“By managing the entire process—from design and sourcing to production and retail—we streamline operations and keep costs down. This allows us to offer well-designed, functional products that align with international trends at prices that make sense for our Filipino customers,” he said.

Rachel Turner, Country Manager of Anko Philippines, added, “Anko is all about making everyday living brighter. With our Trinoma store, we are very excited to bring even more shoppers home and lifestyle essentials designed to match every lifestyle.”

Anko is part of the Kmart Group under Wesfarmers Ltd., one of Australia’s leading companies.

For many Filipinos, Europe is the ultimate dream destination – a place of breathtaking landscapes, rich history, and cultural treasures. Now you don’t need to travel far to experience its charms. Landers Superstore, the fastest-growing membership retail chain in the country, is hosting THE BIGGEST EUROPEAN FESTIVAL this month, to put the spotlight on European excellence and bring beloved European products closer to home.

Drawing from the success of Japan Fest last year, Landers Superstore is raising the bar even higher for this festival with more premium European brands on display, more deals to love and more exciting activities that will transport you to the streets of Paris, Rome or Madrid. Whether you’re a fan of fine European delicacies, a culture enthusiast, or simply looking for something to do on a weekend, Landers Superstore’s European Festival promises a grand celebration that’s too good to miss.

European Festival Grand Launch

To kick things off, Landers Superstore held a grand launch for the Biggest European Festival at Landers Arca South last March 5, 2025. The event commenced with an electrifying flamenco performance by AXIS, setting the tone for a truly immersive cultural experience.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony was led by Landers Deputy Chief Executive Officer Bill Cummings, Ambassador of Spain to the Philippines Miguel Utray, European Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines (ECCP) Executive Director Florian Gottein, British Embassy Representative Windy Anonuevo, and celebrities Carla Abellana and Daniel Matsunaga.

Bill Cummings, in his welcome remarks, emphasized the significance of the event, calling it Landers’ most ambitious showcase to date. “Through the years, we’ve hosted incredible festivals featuring top brands and products from all over the world. Each one was a step forward in our mission to bring global excellence closer to our members. This time, we’re taking things even further. The Landers European Festival is a celebration of excellence, authenticity, and discovery, featuring over a thousand premium European finds—from beloved household names to new brands you’ll surely love.”

He also underscored the festival’s unique experiential aspect, encouraging members to take part in the Landers European Festival Caravan. “Beyond just shopping, we’ve prepared immersive and fun-filled experiences that will transport you to Europe. You can taste, explore, and sample our premium selection for free while also enjoying booths that offer cultural exchange and other fun-filled activities.”

Ambassador Utray and Director Gottein also expressed their enthusiasm and support for the festival, highlighting its role in strengthening economic and cultural ties between Europe and the Philippines.

Experience European excellence firsthand

The highlight of the festival is the European Festival Caravan, a special in-store event that will let members experience European excellence up close and personal. The stores will be transformed into charming European-inspired streets lined with food stalls and exhibitor booths. There, members can indulge in free samples of European delicacies, avail exclusive deals from travel agencies specializing in Europe tours and engage with organizations promoting European arts and culture.

Street artists will provide free caricature portraits to members with a minimum P500 single-receipt purchase from Landers Central while Human Statues will provide entertainment to members.

The caravan will make its first stop at Landers Arca South on March 7 to 9, followed by Landers Nuvali on March 12 to 16, Landers Otis on March 19 to 23 and Landers Arcovia City on March 26 to 30.
