Japan’s ABC-MART to open first store in Manila

ABC-MART, Japan’s famed footwear retail giant, is officially stepping into Bonifacio Global City with its flagship Grand Stage store, set to open this Fall 2025.

The ABC-MART Grand Stage is known in Japan for its wide selection of sneakers and shoes from top global brands. ABC-MART caters to a broad spectrum of footwear needs — from everyday wear to limited-edition collector pieces.

The two-floor Grand Stage concept spans over 750 square meters, with a wide selection of sneakers and shoes from Nike, Adidas, ASICS, Puma, New Balance, Vans, Salomon, and more.

This launch is part of a strategic joint venture between SONAK Retail Group and ABC-MART Japan. They plan to expand ABC-MART’s footprint in Southeast Asia, rolling out both premium Grand Stage stores and more accessible Standard outlets nationwide throughout 2025 and beyond.
