History

Established in 1987.

BENCH/​began in 1987 as a small store selling men’s t-​shirts Philippines. Then, it grew at an unparalleled rate becoming the pioneer in the use of celebrity endorsers, television, and giant billboards to propel a fashion brand that offers premium quality products at affordable prices.

From being the number one store of men’s apparel, BENCH/​has grown to include a ladies’ line, underwear, fragrances, housewares, snacks, and a wide array of other lifestyle products. Throughout the years, BENCH/​has achieved the distinction of being present virtually in every retail space in the Philippines, and has built a worldwide network of stores and outlets, reaching as far as the United States, the Middle East, and China.

As it sliced through demographic divisions — age, gender, socio-​economic status — a stirring slogan, «BENCH/​is forever», became the company’s abiding creed.
