If you've been a fan of Sunnies since their humble kiosk days in Mall of Asia circa 2013, brace yourself—because Sunnies is back, and this time, they've gone big. Sunnies World at Mall of Asia has officially opened its largest store ever, spanning a whopping 500 square meters of pure Sunnies bliss.

From their eyewear to their cult-favorite makeup, they’ve created a haven where beauty, style, and caffeine meet. Here’s everything you can expect from this one-stop Sunnies paradise.

The Sunnies Experience, but Make It Bigger

This isn’t just a store; it’s a world. Imagine walking into a space where everything from Sunnies Studios to Sunnies Face, Sunnies Flask, and even Sunnies Coffee exists under one roof. Forget the mad dash between different shops—here, you can update your eyewear prescription, grab a new lipstick, and order a popcorn latte all in one go. Talk about efficiency! You could literally run your entire morning routine without leaving the store.

Aesthetic Overload

If you thought the Cebu store’s retro-futuristic vibe was cool, get ready for Sunnies World at Mall of Asia. They've swapped out space-age for sophistication. Inspired by reading rooms and learning centers, this is where you come to browse, relax, and maybe learn how to play a game of chess (because, yes, they have a chess area). Between the cozy lounge and the hidden photobooth, you might forget you’re not in a Wes Anderson film. If Instagram had a physical form, it would be Sunnies World. Prepare your camera roll.

Your Go-to Coffee Spot Just Got a Lot Fancier

Sunnies Coffee is now a permanent fixture in the store, and it's not just for the caffeine-dependent. Their exclusive MOA drink, the Popcorn Latte, is basically a love letter to all your snack and coffee dreams rolled into one. Whether you're here to shop or just need a cozy corner to unwind with a book and a latte, Sunnies has you covered. Fun fact: every optical purchase that includes a lens upgrade comes with a free Spanish Latte. Because coffee just tastes better when it's free, right?

Personalize It, Baby!

Shopping for Sunnies merch has always been a treat, but the Sunnies World experience takes it up a notch with a personalization area. Want your flask engraved with your name? Done. Need that tote bag embroidered with your initials? They've got you. Nothing says “I’m extra” like a customized Sunnies Flask, and honestly, who wouldn’t want that?

It’s All For a Good Cause

As if the store wasn’t already doing the most, Sunnies World has partnered with MovEd, a non-profit that supports early childhood programs for underserved communities. The MOA-exclusive merchandise isn’t just cool; it’s also charitable. Sunnies has pledged 100% of its sales from this line to MovEd’s Move-A-Child sponsorship program. So go ahead, splurge a little—you’re not just shopping, you’re making a difference.

The Exclusive Merch and Perks You’ll Be Bragging About

If you're the kind of person who loves an exclusive deal (who isn't?), the grand opening has a ton in store for you. From free Sunnies Coffee with your optical purchase to limited-edition totes and dumpling pouches, it’s basically a freebie frenzy. Just hit the minimum spend and walk out with more than you bargained for. We're talking free notepads, keychains, pencil cases, and yes, even the coveted Spanish Latte. There’s a reason they call it “treat yourself.”

A Store That Feels Like Home

At the heart of Sunnies World is the sense that this isn’t just a place to shop—it’s a place to gather. Whether you're a beauty buff, a coffee lover, or just someone who loves good design, Sunnies World is a space made for you. It’s where like-minded people can meet, sip, read, and yes, play a game of chess (no experience required). Sunnies isn’t just selling products, they’re offering a lifestyle—one that feels just as much about community as it is about looking good.
