focus_ Opens at Festival Mall With Home, Kitchen and Lifestyle Brands

Online shopping makes it easy to compare prices and browse hundreds of products from home, but there are some things you still want to see and try in person—especially when you're investing in something for the kitchen, home, self-care routine, or the family's next outdoor adventure.

For families in the South of Metro Manila, there's a new place to do just that.

 

focus_ has opened its second location at Festival Mall in Alabang, bringing together home, kitchen, personal care, and outdoor brands in a retail space designed around how people actually use these products in everyday life.

Instead of organizing everything strictly by product category, focus_ Festival Mall groups its offerings around four ideas: create, elevate, live, and explore.

For moms and families, that could mean finding a kitchen appliance for trying new recipes, discovering something that makes everyday home care easier, comparing personal care tools, or preparing for the next family camping trip—all in one space.

What is focus_ at Festival Mall?

focus_ is a lifestyle retail concept from Focus Global, Inc., the company behind a portfolio of international home and consumer brands in the Philippines.

The new Festival Mall store is its second location, following the established focus_ store at Power Plant Mall in Rockwell.

What makes the concept a little different from a traditional appliance or lifestyle store is how products are presented.

Rather than simply browsing rows of products arranged by category, shoppers are encouraged to touch, try, and compare items while considering how they could fit into their routines and homes.

For anyone who has ever stared at several similar appliances online wondering, “But which one would I actually use?”, being able to see products firsthand can make the decision easier.

Create: Kitchen tools for everyday meals and new recipes

The Create section centers around one of the busiest areas in many family homes: the kitchen.

Brands available include KitchenAid, Instant Pot, Oster, and Bamix, with products aimed at helping home cooks prepare meals, experiment with recipes, and equip their kitchens.

 

For moms, choosing a kitchen appliance is often less about having another gadget on the counter and more about whether you'll actually use it.

Before buying, consider your family's cooking habits. Do you prepare meals every day? Batch-cook on weekends? Bake regularly? Need something that saves preparation time?

Counter and storage space are worth considering too—particularly in smaller kitchens.

The best kitchen appliance isn't necessarily the one with the most functions. It's the one that fits naturally into how your family cooks.

Elevate: Making everyday self-care a little easier

The Elevate area focuses on personal care and grooming, including products from Philips Personal Care.

For busy parents, self-care doesn't always mean an entire afternoon at the spa. Sometimes it's simply having tools at home that make an everyday beauty or grooming routine more convenient.

Seeing personal care devices in-store can also help shoppers get a better sense of their size, features, and design before deciding whether they're worth adding to the household routine.

Live: Products for everyday comfort at home

The Live pillar focuses on creating a more comfortable everyday environment.

The store carries Levoit, known for home products such as air purifiers and cleaning solutions.

When shopping for products in this category, families may want to look beyond appearance and compare practical factors such as the size of the room they're intended for, maintenance requirements, replacement filters or parts, energy use, noise level, and ongoing costs.

These details may not be as exciting as opening a new gadget, but they're often what determines whether a home product remains useful months or years after purchase.

Explore: Gear for family adventures

Families who enjoy camping, road trips, picnics, beach outings, and other outdoor activities can head to the Explore section.

Brands include Coleman and BrüMate, with products designed for outdoor adventures and activities.

The Festival Mall location is particularly significant for Coleman because it also serves as the brand's flagship store.

Coleman was the first lifestyle brand that Focus Global brought to the Philippines more than 30 years ago. The Festival Mall location now offers an extensive selection of its coolers, outdoor gear, and adventure essentials.

For families who are just getting into camping or outdoor activities, being able to inspect gear physically can be useful. You can get a better idea of how large a cooler actually is, whether equipment will fit in the car, how heavy something feels, and how much storage space it might require at home.

Shopping with more intention

The idea behind focus_ is what the company describes as intentional living—understanding what matters to you and choosing products that support the way you want to live.

“Intentional living begins with knowing what matters to you and choosing the things that support it,” said Stephen Sy, President of Focus Global.

“We created focus_ as a space where people can discover products that help them create with more joy, elevate everyday routines, live well at home, and explore with confidence.”

For families, intentional shopping can also have a very practical meaning: buying fewer things you won't use and choosing more carefully when you do spend.

Before purchasing something for the home, it can help to ask a few simple questions: How often will we use this? Where will we keep it? Does it solve an actual problem? Is it easy to maintain? And does it fit our household budget?

Being able to experience products in person before making that decision is one advantage physical stores still have over online shopping.
