Yes, you read that right. Watsons’ 8,000th store in Asia is located right here, in the heart of the throbbing metro, at SM Mall of Asia. AS Watson Group CEO Dr. Malina Ngai is happy to note, "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. This vibrant and highly potential market has a young demographic that increasingly focuses on health and beauty, aligning perfectly with Watsons’ expertise."

A CELEBRATION OF INNOVATION

Dr. Ngai hastens to point out that Watsons’ 8,000th store milestone in Asia "is not just a celebration; it’s a promise of innovation," as Watsons adapts "to shifting consumer needs, bringing the best of the world to every customer and fostering a sense of community that cares for one another."
