Health and personal care retailer Watsons has opened its 8000th Asia store at SM Mall of Asia in Manila.
“The Philippines has been selected for this momentous occasion because it’s one of the fastest-rising economies in Asia and a strategic market for AS Watson,” said Malina Ngai, CEO of AS Watson Group.
“This vibrant and highly potential market has a young demographic that increasingly focuses on health and beauty, aligning perfectly with Watsons’ expertise.”
The new store forms part of the company’s commitment to enhancing its offline plus online customer experience.
Watsons currently operates 8000 stores and more than 1500 pharmacies in Asia, Europe, and Middle East.
