Australian home and lifestyle brand Anko opened its largest store in the Philippines at TriNoma Mall on July 9, giving patrons and shoppers a new kind of experience that combines retail with family-focused activities.
The new branch, located on the ground floor near the MRT North Avenue station, spans over 1,600 square meters and features Anko’s first in-store activation center. In this space, customers can engage with products through creative play, themed events, and interactive workshops.

“This store represents growth that’s both measurable and meaningful. We’re creating jobs, inspiring homes, and offering families a better way to shop for their everyday needs,” said Rachel Turner, country manager of Anko Philippines.
The activation center is a permanent feature designed for hands-on engagement.
for learning and fun
According to Anko Philippines cluster manager Nina Garcia, “What’s unique about this store is that we have a space not just for the customer to shop but to have good times with their family as well.”
Garcia said the space will carry different themes each month, starting with Play & Create—a product range that includes puzzles, learning toys, and craft kits.
“We set up this space with our toys and Play & Create items. We have toys where kids can learn and play at the same time,” she said.

Asked why TriNoma was chosen, Garcia explained, “Quezon City is the most popular city here in Manila. We specifically chose TriNoma because this is a home to a lot of younger families and young professionals who value great products with affordable quality and fashionable and on-trend design.”
TriNoma is Anko’s third location in the Philippines, following branches in Glorietta 2 and Alabang Town Center. Turner said the mall’s accessibility, high foot traffic, and strong family presence made it a natural choice.
“TriNoma was a natural next step for Anko’s retail growth. It’s one of the most established lifestyle destinations in Metro Manila and a key shopping hub in Quezon City—the most populous city in the country,” she said.
The store offers special perks for members of the Anko Club app, including early access to product drops, workshop invitations, and exclusive in-store freebies available throughout July.
