Bench was established in 1987, opening as a small store selling men's T-shirts[1] in an outlet of the SM Department Store (now The SM Store).[2] In 1991, Bench released its first television commercial featuring Filipino actor Richard Gomez as its endorser which set a standard on how the brand is promoted by its celebrity endorsers.[2]
The company has since grown to include a ladies' line, underwear, fragrances, housewares, snacks and other lifestyle products. Bench has expanded to overseas territories, including the United States, Middle East, China, Myanmar, and Singapore.[1]
