Anko, the Australian brand offering everyday essentials, has opened its first store outside Ayala Malls at Gateway Cubao in Quezon City, according to LionhearTV. The expansion marks a strategic move to reach more Filipino consumers beyond its previous mall partnerships.
The new outlet carries Anko’s signature range of home, kitchen, and lifestyle products at affordable prices. The brand aims to tap into the growing demand for value-driven retail in Metro Manila’s eastern corridor, with Gateway Cubao’s status as a major transport hub expected to drive foot traffic.
Industry observers view the move as a vote of confidence in the Philippine retail sector. Anko continues to strengthen its presence since entering the market, competing with both local and international value retailers. No additional store locations have been announced.
