As Asia’s No.1 health and beauty retailer, Watsons is celebrating an important milestone today as it opens its 1,000th store in Philippines. The new store opening coincides with Watsons’ 20th anniversary in the Philippines, one of its fastest-growing markets.
Spanning almost 1,000 square meters, the new flagship store is located in The Block, SM City North Edsa Block in Manila. As the biggest store in the country, it offers the most comprehensive array of health and beauty products while taking shopping experience to the next level.
Dominic Lai, Group Managing Director of AS Watson Group, officiates at the store opening event and says, “This new flagship store is important in the nation-wide expansion in this beautiful country as it’s a clear demonstration of Watsons’ determination to strengthen our connection with customers via seamless O+O platforms. O+O platform strategy is at the core of our business to create an integrated experience, to better serve customers anytime, anywhere.”
“Besides celebrating the 1,000th store opening, today marks Watsons’ 20 years of commitment to serving our customers in the Philippines. Over the years, we’ve been working to deliver our purpose to help customers Look Good, Do Good, Feel Great.”
The new flagship store is not only designed to offer a modern and stylish shopping environment, but also as a model for the future of beauty shopping with special discovery areas. There’s a Skinfie Lab, a skin analysis tool that creates personalised skincare recommendations based on selfies. It also features an in-store clinic, where virtual consultation and remote physical examination are available. Watsons Supplement Finder is also available to support pharmacy service and help customers get personalised recommendations on the best vitamins and supplements for them.
Looking forward, Watsons will continue to expand in the Philippines, as well as the rest of the world, bringing pleasurable O+O shopping experience to customers.
