TACLOBAN CITY – The ANTA Superstore at Robinsons Place Tacloban is making waves in Eastern Visayas just months after its launch in November 2024, offering a wide range of affordable and stylish sportswear and lifestyle apparel.

The superstore is the first of its kind in the region and aims to be the go-to destination for athletes and casual wearers alike. Locals have responded positively to the store’s diverse offerings—from everyday essentials to exclusive collections by basketball stars Kyrie Irving and Klay Thompson.

“We grabbed the opportunity to open a superstore in Tacloban, and the response has exceeded expectations,” said JP Paglinawan, General Manager of ANTA Philippines. “We’re proud to be meeting the daily needs of customers in the region.”

Apart from selling apparel and footwear, the store is also set to partner with schools in the region to support student-athletes.

According to Mikko Abello, ANTA PH’s head of marketing, they are already scouting for schools to work with for the next academic year.

“We’re very enthusiastic about helping Tacloban-based schools with gear and opportunities for competition,” Abello shared.

Due to the strong reception in Tacloban, ANTA Philippines is now looking into opening more superstores in other parts of the country.

Paglinawan said the performance of the Tacloban branch has even surpassed similar outlets in Southeast Asia, including Malaysia.

The ANTA Superstore is located on Level 1 of Robinsons Place Tacloban, Marasbaras, and is open daily from 10 am to 9 pm.
