Health and beauty retailer Watsons recently made its grand return to SM Mall of Asia, treating its customers with an improved version of its old store, which bears new store features along with a refreshing new look.
The new store offers several stations aiming to elevate its customers’ shopping experience. These stations are the Premium Beauty zone, the Watsons Brands zone, the Health zone, the Sustainability zone, and the O+O zone.
The Premium Beauty Zone features products from global brands such as Dr.Jart+, Clinique, Origins, Laneige, and many others. The Watsons Brands zone houses Watsons’ personal care and skin care products. The zone also features a skincare analyzer, which customers can use for free to determine which skincare product would suit them.
The Health Zone provides consumers with vitamins, supplements, OTC, and prescription medications, offering generic and branded medicines. The Sustainability zone features several of Watsons’ sustainable choices brands, along with a refill station.
The O+O zone, also known as the Offline and Online zone, offers a convenient shopping experience to consumers as it allows them to buy their products either in their physical or online store and choose among delivery methods such as pick up or express delivery. The store also has a self-checkout area which allows customers to have a contactless and queue-free payment option.
With its grand reopening being graced by several social media personalities, Watsons also unveiled its Council of Influencers, which consists of Doc Kilimanguru, Chico Cruz, Jo Sebastian, Mikee Reyes, Jeff Serrano, Jan Angelo, Teree Daisuke, Morgan Ferrer-Aba, and JM Supnet.
Watsons’ Customer Director Jared De Guzman explained that the Council of Influencers program selected social media personalities whose content provides good and honest insights about health, wellness, and beauty.
“There’s a lot of fake news out there and we want to make sure that everybody gets the right education, the right news when it comes to health and beauty and wellness,” said De Guzman.
Also gracing the event was social media personality Small Laude, who launched her new skincare brand Small Steps Skin at the newly reopened Watsons branch.
“This is our first store for Watsons and I’m so excited for the many more stores in the future,” said Laude, who was with her children Michael, Timothy, and Alison.
The newly improved Watsons concept store is located at Level 1, North Main Mall, SM Mall of Asia.
