Muji Philippines continues to grow with the opening of its largest and first flagship store in Glorietta 3 in Makati.

Spanning three expansive floors and covering approximately 2,600 square meters, the store houses the largest collection of over 2,500 meticulously curated MUJI products and the largest Coffee Counter, which can sit around 122 diners.

MUJI Glorietta also offers the newest and unique MUJI Bakery, which is exclusive to this store. It is also the first of its kind in the Philippines.

“We have many products, over 7,000. We have to showcase them, so we needed a bigger store. We decided on this three years ago,” Takeshi Akiyoshi, president of MUJI Philippines, said.

A wide range of services to enhance the overall shopping experience are also offered at the store. These include the Stamp Table, Coffee Counter, Embroidery Services, In-House Alterations, Water Refill Station, Service Counter and Green Plants.

Muji is known for its wide selection of garments, ranging from Linen, Cotton, Cool Touch and more. Its new linen collection is appropriate for the current weather. The breathability and lightweightness keep you cool all day.

All the breads, such as pandesal, croissants and ensaymada, are freshly baked from MUJI’s in-house bakery.

MUJI Glorietta’s Coffee Counter is now the biggest among the other branches. The menu includes new breads, Curry Rice Meals, hot and cold beverages, and Soft Serve Ice Cream and Drinks, made with premium Hokkaido milk. The newest MUJI store will also launch an exclusive Choco Tablea drinks series (Hot Tablea and Hot Ichigo Tablea).

Another customer-favorite service is the embroidery service. This allows customers to personalize items with over 200 embroidery letters and designs. Muji also encourages customers to reconnect with nature by offering a curated selection of locally grown, easy-to-maintain green plants.

For those who love creativity and self-expression, the stamp table provides a fun and engaging way to customize stationery. Service counter is another unique essential feature of Muji stores that offers a range of practical services such as personal consultations, home delivery for bulk purchases, order pickups, clothing alterations (for MUJI items only), and spare parts replacements for select Hard Carry Cases.

The brand has since expanded into a globally recognized lifestyle name known for its minimalistic yet high-quality offerings. Today, it provides over 7,000 meticulously designed products across more than 1,000 stores worldwide, including eight locations in the Philippines.

Muji Glorietta is open daily, operating hours of Monday to Thursday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Friday to Sunday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
