Anko Opens Its Largest Store Yet in the Philippines at Trinoma

Anko has just opened its biggest store to date, not only the largest in the Philippines, but also the largest outside of Oceania. Strategically located in Trinoma Mall, Quezon City, the expansive store covers a total of 1,634 square meters, with 1,421 square meters dedicated to retail space.

This store is designed undeniably to create a cozy and welcoming atmosphere, the store’s layout and curated displays invite customers to explore and discover more, and it makes it impressive with its affordable prices. Another notable in this store is their Play and create area for your kids, exclusive to their anko members.

Anko is a value-driven home and lifestyle brand known for its Scandinavian-inspired minimalist aesthetic.

What Makes It Different?

• Core focus on home, storage, toys, beauty, nursery, pet products, fitness, arts and crafts, and travel.
• Simple, clean visual merchandising (white space, product grouping).
• Often merchandised in room-set formats.
• Fewer SKUs per category, but curated for function and form.

Customer & Market Trend? YES.

• Anko responds to today’s consumer wants: stylish yet affordable home & lifestyle goods
• One-stop convenience for décor, beauty, crafts, and essentials
• Design-focused products that feel global but are priced locally
• Market: Anko fills the gap in the retail landscape—multi-category lifestyle shopping, a scalable model with international retail standards, and matches the shift toward hybrid, experience-led home retailing.

Retailer POV

Strategies we can adapt from Anko:

• Zoning by Lifestyle, Not Just Category Experience-first zoning drives exploration and basket building.
• Color Blocking & Design Cohesion – Visual harmony increases perceived value and encourages bundled buying.
• Thematic & Seasonal Storytelling – Reinforces relevance and keeps assortment feeling dynamic.
• High SKU Breadth, Low Depth – Creates a “treasure hunt” experience similar to Daiso or Flying Tiger
• Price-Point Signage & Accessibility – Supports high conversion at shelf, especially for walk-ins and window shoppers.

Consumer Draw:

Young families, homemakers, and value-conscious consumers seeking affordable style and utility. The value-for-money pricing and home lifestyle essentials in a minimalist setup.

 

This new branch joins the existing Anko locations in Glorietta, Makati City, and Alabang Town Center, Muntinlupa City. As part of its continued expansion, Anko plans to open two more stores within Metro Manila later this year.

Established in 2017 under the Kmart Group—a division of Wesfarmers Ltd., one of Australia’s leading conglomerates—Anko continues to grow its global footprint with its Philippine expansion.
