BIZ BUZZ: More Watsons PH stores to go 24/7
Good news for beauty and health aficionados!
Watsons Philippines is looking to turn more of its local outlets in the country to 24/7 stores, with the company expected to implement these transformations as early as the first quarter of next year.
Watsons Philippines senior assistant vice president for marketing communications, public relations and sustainability Sharon Decapia shared this timetable with Biz Buzz during the company’s announcement on Monday that they have opened 8,000 stores across the globe.
“We will make the announcement once we are ready. Some of these stores are already operational and we just need to change the signages,“ she said.
More 24/7 stores means customers will get more pick where they want to do their round-the-clock shopping, as well having more store options where they want to book a delivery anytime.
Decapia said that their Guadalupe branch is the only outlet that operates 24/7 at this time.
The beauty and healthiness store chain has over 1,100 stores in the Philippines today, with 30 more opening this year and another 80 to 90 planned for 2025.
