Watsons Singapore introduced experiential store concepts designed to blend discovery, advice and convenience, featuring BeautyVerse and Jubilee Wellness corners within its retail footprint. BeautyVerse is a rotating discovery platform that spotlights trending Asian beauty brands, while Jubilee Wellness corners curate health essentials and supplements for older shoppers. The retailer said the rollout was guided by insights from its O+O ecosystem and a community of over 1 million members.
Stores were reconfigured with clearer zoning, enhanced tester areas, consultation spaces and an Aesthetic Beauty Zone for at-home treatment products. The flagship Takashimaya layout now guides customers through eight purpose-built zones from Pharmacy to Makeup, and the BeautyVerse assortment includes brands such as WELLAGE, Beauty of Joseon and Winona. Jubilee Wellness corners emphasize curated, easy-to-navigate health ranges and in-store expert access.
For consumers, the combined concepts aim to make in-store trips more relevant and confidence-building by pairing hands-on trial with personalised guidance and seamless online links. This approach reflects a wider retail trend toward immersive, omnichannel experiences that serve distinct life stages and build trust in health and beauty purchases.
