Manila, Philippines – R.O.X. is set to close its Bonifacio High Street store on 16 June 2026, marking the end of an almost 20-year run for one of the Philippines’ best-known outdoor retail and community spaces.
In a social media announcement, the retailer shared that the closure comes after years of building what it described as a home for adventurers, explorers and outdoor enthusiasts in the city.
“R.O.X. BHS has always been a space for our community to discover and find joy in the outdoor experience,” the brand said in its post.
“It’s been a safe space for everyone, novice and professionals alike to play, have fun, and harness that love for adventure.”
Since opening in 2007, the Bonifacio High Street branch has become closely associated with Metro Manila’s outdoor and fitness culture, serving not just as a retail store but also as a gathering space for hiking, camping, cycling and adventure communities.
The company also thanked its loyal customers and long-time supporters, whom it referred to as “R.O.X.plorers”, for being part of the journey over the years.
“We are forever grateful to our loyal community for joining us on this journey. Thank you for the 20 years of adventure, R.O.X.plorers. See you outside!” the post added.
The announcement sparked reactions online from customers sharing memories of shopping at the store and participating in community-led outdoor activities hosted through the years.
While the Bonifacio High Street branch is set to close, the company has yet to announce whether other locations or future plans for the brand will be affected.
