Kaki Watsons, rejoice! Watsons' first-ever green store opened on 9 February at The Tropika, Bukit Jalil, woohoo! :D
Spanning 1,922 sq ft (such a big space, whoa!), the store boasts decor made of recycled and raw materials.
Their 3D decorative panel wall, for instance, is made of bicycle parts and bagasse, a fibrous residue from crushed sugarcane stalks. As Watsons strives to be an eco-friendly brand, they collected crushed sugarcane that would otherwise be burned, and turned it into raw materials instead. Cool, right?
Aside from the store's eco-friendly decor, you'll be pleased to know that you can find plenty of eco-friendly products, Watsons' most advanced Online plus Offline (O+O) concept, and so much more, yasss!
Plus, at this new outlet, you'll find a wide selection of merchandise as well as exclusive branded products, ranging from skincare to cosmetics, healthcare, personal care, and much more. Nice lahhh.
1. Your fav Naturals by Watsons shampoo, conditioner, or soap about to habis? Bring along those empty bottles to get them refilled at this outlet. :D
In line with their goal of reducing plastic bottles, Watsons wants to ensure that their green outlet features a Naturals by Watsons refill station.
You can refill your empty bottles with one of their best-selling Naturals by Watsons variants at the station:
- Aloe Vera Shampoo and Bath
- Argan Shampoo
- Olive Shampoo and Bath
- Coffee Shampoo
Or if you're looking to stock up on more Naturals by Watsons products, Watsons has gotchu covered. The good thing about the Naturals by Watsons variants is that they are all naturally formulated with 90% natural origin ingredients and are 100% vegan. You can rest assured that their products are not tested on animals and use environmentally friendly packaging made of post-consumer recycled plastic.
2. Shop sustainably by purchasing eco-friendly products
As Watsons wants to reduce their environmental footprint and promote a lifestyle that allows customers to 'Look Good. Do Good. Feel Great', the brand puts sustainability at their core by sourcing brands that exercise sustainable practices, from ingredient choices to packaging.
3. Enjoy Watsons' first O+O shopping experience at the new store
Whether you prefer shopping online or offline, you should know that shopping with Watsons has gotten even better. The brand now offers O+O (a.k.a online and offline) shopping experience in the outlet, where you can buy products online in the store itself and have them delivered to your doorstep! So cool, right?
4. You won't have to wait in line for too long, thanks to Watsons' new self-checkout counters
Doesn't it get annoying when you're waiting in line to pay for just a few items, but it's taking forever because the person in front of you has a basket full of items to checkout?
The good news is that this outlet is one of the few Watsons in Malaysia that has self-checkout counters. You barely have to queue, and can pay for your things instantly without having to interact with anyone!
What's even more exciting is that they are collaborating with Hong Kong Cantopop boyband Mirror as Watsons' global green ambassador. Woohoo! :D
In conjunction with their green campaign, Watsons has collaborated with the 12-member boyband to promote their sustainable efforts all over the region.
You can also pledge to be sustainable on the Watsons app, which will reward you with 1,000 Watsons points! Here's how:
