Jollibee
Jollibee is a Filipino chain of fast food restaurants owned by Jollibee Foods Corporation (JFC) which serves as its flagship brand. Established in 1978 by Tony Tan Caktiong, it is the Philippines' top fast food restaurant and is among the world's fastest growing restaurants, expanding its international presence from 2014 to 2024 almost sixfold. As of January 2024[update], there were over 1,668 Jollibee fast-food branches across 17 countries, with restaurants in Southeast Asia, East Asia (Hong Kong and Macau), the Middle East, North America, and Europe (including Spain, Italy, and the United Kingdom). Jollibee is best known for its Chickenjoy fried chicken.
In 1975, Tony Tan Caktiong and his family opened a Magnolia ice cream parlor in Cubao, Quezon City. The outlet later began offering hot meals and sandwiches. When the food items became more popular than ice cream, the family decided to convert the ice cream parlor into a fast food restaurant, which became the first Jollibee outlet in 1978. Management consultant Manuel C. Lumba advised the family on the change in strategy. Jollibee was initially named "Jolibe", but changed its name to "Jollibee".
Jollibee Foods Corporation (JFC) was incorporated in January 1978. By the end of that year, there were seven Jollibee branches in Metro Manila. The first franchised outlet of Jollibee opened in Santa Cruz, Manila, in 1979.
Jollibee experienced rapid growth. The chain was able to withstand the entry of McDonald's into the Philippines in 1981 by focusing on the specific tastes of the Filipino market.[example needed] The first provincial Jollibee outlet opened in Mabalacat, Pampanga.
The first overseas Jollibee opened in Singapore in 1985 at the Katong Shopping Centre; that location closed only a year later (since returned in 2013). In the same year, Jollibee opened branches in the Middle East and Guam. Jollibee continued to expand and set up outlets both within the country and abroad.
Beyond its store endeavors, Jollibee also ventured into media, notably partnering with GMA for the children’s magazine show Chikiting Patrol, which aired from 1996 to 2002.
In 1998, Jollibee would expand to North America with its first United States location in Daly City, California.
Jollibee first entered Europe in 2018 with the opening of a branch in Milan, Italy.
