With its roots deeply embedded in the Philippines, this homegrown powerhouse has transformed from a local fast-food favorite into a global icon, capturing the hearts and taste buds of millions worldwide.

Its journey of relentless innovation, strategic growth, and unwavering commitment to quality has not only made it a business success but also a source of immense pride for the Filipino people.

Building a Legacy of Pride

As the Jollibee Group continues its aggressive global expansion, it carries with it the dreams and aspirations of a nation. Each store opening, every new milestone, and every international recognition becomes a celebration of Filipino talent and ingenuity.

The Group’s vision of becoming one of the top five restaurant companies in the world is no longer a distant dream but an achievable reality, fueled by its passion for excellence and its commitment to bringing joy to every table.

In the Jollibee Group’s story, Filipinos see their own potential—a reminder that with hard work, resilience, and a touch of Filipino ingenuity, they too can make their mark on the world stage.

As the world savors the taste of Chickenjoy, it’s not just a bite of fried chicken—it’s a bite of Filipino pride.

A Global Powerhouse of Filipino Brands

The Jollibee Group has become synonymous with bringing Filipino culture—and its unique brand of hospitality—to the world stage.

From the iconic Chickenjoy, hailed as the Best Fast Food Fried Chicken by both EATER and USA Today, to the beloved Jolly Spaghetti and Peach Mango Pie, Jollibee’s menu has transcended cultural barriers and established itself as a global favorite.

Today, the Jollibee Group operates 19 brands and over 9,400 stores in 32 countries, with flagship brands like Jollibee, Mang Inasal, and Chowking earning top accolades, including the recent distinction of being the Top 3 most valuable restaurant brands in ASEAN by Brand Finance.

Strategic Acquisitions: A Recipe for Success

Beyond its own flagship brand, the Jollibee Group has strategically acquired internationally recognized brands, further solidifying its global footprint.

Notable additions include Smashburger in the United States, Highlands Coffee in Vietnam, Tim Ho Wan from Hong Kong, and Compose Coffee from South Korea.

These acquisitions are not mere business ventures; they represent Jollibee’s dedication to showcasing diverse culinary traditions while ensuring sustainable growth.

For instance, Compose Coffee, a leading South Korean coffee brand with over 2,600 stores, has quickly become the Jollibee Group’s largest brand by store count.

Meanwhile, Tim Ho Wan, the “most affordable Michelin-starred restaurant,” has bolstered Jollibee’s Chinese cuisine portfolio with its celebrated dim sum and Cantonese dishes. These strategic moves not only diversify the Group’s offerings but also position it as a formidable player in the global food service industry.

Filipino Excellence on the World Stage

The Jollibee Group’s success is not just about numbers—it’s a testament to the resilience, creativity, and dedication of its people.

Recognition as one of TIME Magazine’s “World’s Best Companies” for two consecutive years underscores its commitment to fostering excellence and innovation.

From earning the Gallup Exceptional Workplace Award to leading sustainability initiatives under its “Joy for Tomorrow” agenda, the Group exemplifies the best of Filipino values.

Moreover, the global appeal of its brands speaks volumes about its ability to connect with audiences across cultures.

Whether it’s the long lines of customers braving the cold to taste Chickenjoy in North America or the overwhelming love for Highlands Coffee in Vietnam, the Jollibee Group has proven that Filipino flavors and hospitality resonate universally.
