Pop Mart, a Chinese retailer specializing in collectible toys, has established its first long-term retail store in the Philippines. This move comes after a succession of temporary pop-ups throughout Metro Manila, signalling a more robust presence in the local marketplace.
The new store is situated in Ortigas’ SM Megamall, one of the busiest shopping destinations in the country, covering an area of 300 square meters. The retail space showcases Pop Mart’s primary product lines such as Labubu, Molly, Skullpanda, and Crybaby. In addition, the store offers a changing selection of limited-edition items.
Prior to this, Pop Mart had made its initial mark in the country through various pop-up stores located in some of the country’s leading malls, such as SM Mall of Asia, SM Makati, and SM North Edsa.
Pop Mart’s Philippine venture aligns with its continuing global expansion strategies. The company had previously expanded into the Middle East with its first store opening in October. This was closely followed by the inauguration of the company’s largest store in Japan in September.
