When you hear, “Bida ang Saya!” you’ll think of nothing but the Philippine fast food giant Jollibee. They are known for their world-famous Chickenjoy, burgers, fries, sundaes, and more. Currently, they are dominating the fast food industry, having countless branches all over the world.
What is Jollibee
Jollibee is a global chain of fast food restaurants in the Philippines operated by Jollibee Foods Group. As of April 2018, JFC had a total of roughly 1,200 Jollibee outlets worldwide, with involvement in South East Asia, the Middle East, East Asia, North America and Europe.
Jollibee brief history in the Philippines
In 1975, Tony Tan and his family opened the Magnolia ice cream parlor in Cubao, Quezon City. Subsequently, the outlet started selling hot meals and sandwiches on order from consumers.
When food products were more popular than ice cream, the family chose to turn the ice cream parlor to a fast food restaurant, which became the first Jollibee outlet in 1978.
Managing consultant Manuel C. Lumba told the family regarding the shift in policy. Initially Jollibee was called “Jolibe” but modified his name to “Jollibee”
Jollibee Foods Corporation, a business that would run the fast food chain, was founded in January 1978. At the end of the year, there were seven branches of Manila Metro. Jollibee’s first franchised store launched in Santa Cruz, Manila, in 1979.
Jollibee has undergone rapid expansion. It was able to survive the arrival of McDonald’s in the Philippines in 1981 by relying on the unique preferences of the Filipino consumer, which varied from those of the American fast food business.
Jollibee’s first overseas shop launched in Taiwan in 1986, and is now locked. Jollibee continued to grow and create outlets both throughout the nation and abroad. Mr. Tan Caktiong, the son of impoverished Chinese refugees, is a billionaire today.
