Manila, Philippines, October 28, 2026 — Officially opening on October 30, The Exchange at Trinoma (“The Exchange”) marks the next phase in Trinoma’s reinvention, bringing together new retail and dining destinations, everyday services, and expanded transport connectivity in one convenient location. Designed as a lifestyle and mobility hub, the expansion introduces new reasons to visit while making daily routines and everyday journeys across Quezon City smoother and more rewarding.
“Earlier this year, we unveiled refreshed spaces and new experiences across Trinoma. The Exchange builds on that by bringing together shopping, dining, services, and transport connections in a way that reflects how people move through the city today,” says Paul Birkett, Ayala Malls’ Chief Operating Officer. “Whether you’re stopping by for a meal, running errands, or heading to your next destination, The Exchange makes it easier to accomplish more in a single visit, especially as we welcome the holiday season.”
New Retail Anchors and Trusted Favorites
From wardrobe essentials and tech upgrades to books and gaming gear, shoppers can explore a growing mix of retail brands across The Exchange. Leading the lineup is ABC-Mart Grand Stage’s first location in the North, opening alongside well-loved names such as National Bookstore, Abenson, Honor, Huawei, Xiaomi, Digital Walker, Silicon Valley, GameXtreme, Penshoppe, Regatta, World Balance, and Ideal Vision.
The selection continues to expand with Beyond the Box and Optical Shop among the brands set to open soon.
On-the-Go Bites and Casual Dining
The Exchange also expands Trinoma’s dining offerings with options suited for quick stops, merienda breaks, and casual catch-ups. Guests can enjoy comforting bowls from Kyu Kyu Ramen and Maylah Malatang, grab coffee, milk tea, or pastries from Dunkin’, Gong Cha, Randy’s Café, Chatramue, and Kumori, or settle in for familiar favorites including Max’s Restaurant and Auntie Anne’s.
Additional dining concepts, including Slim Chickens, Starbucks, McDonald’s, Jollibee, and Chowking are also set to open soon.
Self-Care and Everyday Essentials
Beyond retail and dining, The Exchange integrates personal care, wellness, and practical errands to help visitors accomplish more in a single stop.

Popular Thai beauty retailer Konvy is joining the mix soon, alongside more lifestyle brands set to open throughout the first quarter of 2027.
A Modern Gateway for Commuters
Further enhancing convenience for visitors, a modern integrated commuter terminal is set to open at The Exchange by the end of 2026. The facility is expected to serve 13 transport routes, including buses, UV Express, and other transport services, bringing multiple transit options together in one convenient location. It will also provide additional parking spaces for customers.
The Unified Grand Central Station, which is still under development, will further strengthen The Exchange’s connectivity once operational, linking Trinoma to the MRT-3, MRT-7, and LRT-1 lines.
