Grand Stage is their premium concept, designed to deliver a specialized, upscale, and elevated retail experience. It focuses on offering top-tier products and exclusive special releases. In contrast, the Standard Concept Store caters to a broader audience, providing a wide variety of collections for everyday footwear and casual wear.
Grand Stage in BGC will span over 750 square meters across two floors, and will offer a wide, meticulously curated collection, including limited-edition releases from Nike, Adidas, ASICS, Puma, New Balance, Skechers, Timberland, Vans, Crocs, Salomon, and many more.
“Filipinos’ affinity for streetwear fashion makes this the perfect time for the much-loved ABC-MART to usher in a new era of retail excitement here in the country. We’re particularly thrilled about this partnership, building on the recent success of ABC-MART in Vietnam,” stated Mr. Anil Buxani, Chief Executive Officer of SONAK Retail Group. “This collaboration marks a pivotal moment in SONAK Retail Group’s mission to deliver unparalleled shopping experiences in the country.”
Mr. Kiichiro Hattori, Vice President of ABC-MART, further shared, “Our entry into the Philippines is part of our strategic expansion plan in Southeast Asia. It’s a large and dynamic market for ABC-MART, and we believe that our collaboration with SONAK Retail Group will deliver outstanding outcomes. We’re eager to bring the distinct retail experience and curated brand assortment to the style-conscious Filipino shopper.”
Both the Grand Stage and Standard concepts are set to expand across the Philippines throughout 2025 and beyond.
