In 2024, Watsons reached a significant milestone with the opening of our 8,000th store in Asia at the Mall of Asia, underscoring our commitment to expanding access to health and beauty products.

Since entering the Philippine market in 2002, we’ve grown to 1,170 stores nationwide, opening 80 new locations in 2024, including in Visayas and Mindanao. Our flagship store at the Mall of Asia is transforming the beauty shopping experience with exclusive zones like the Beauty Zone and Sustainable Choices area, offering clean beauty products and refill stations.

We’ve also introduced innovations like the Offline plus Online (O+O) model, self-checkout counters, and Click & Collect services, making shopping more convenient and personalized for our customers.

Our stores continue to serve as vital community touchpoints, offering affordable products, creating jobs, and driving local economic activity. In 2024, we expanded our Alagang Pangkalusugan Medical Missions to nine missions and graduated our first batch of Pharmacy Assistant Apprenticeship Program participants, providing young women with education and career in retail.

As part of our sustainability commitment, we launched our first Greener Store in San Pedro, Laguna, and now offer over 2,000 sustainable products, including refillable options.

We remain focused on empowering communities, advancing sustainability, and transforming the health and beauty retail experience for Filipinos.
