The most loved home and lifestyle brand in Australia, Anko, is set to open its biggest store in the Philippines, the management announced on Monday.

This July, the largest Anko branch, also its third in the country, will be unveiled at the Ayala Group’s Trinoma Mall in Quezon City.

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

The 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.

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

The company said 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.

Further, he said Anko’s efficient product development process 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,” Puri disclosed.

For her part, 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.

Now in the Philippines, Turner said they aim to make everyday living brighter for Filipino families by offering on-trend product designs at consistently low prices across categories such as homewares, bedding, toys, beauty, and travel, among others.
