  • Jollibee Guam flagship Restaurant Opening Early April

    Jollibee Guam flagship Restaurant Opening Early April

    Filipino fast food chain Jollibee, the largest and fastest-growing Asian restaurant company in the world, is soon to open its flagship brand in Guam.

    The first Jollibee Guam outlet will launch at Micronesia Mall on Saturday, April 6.

    “We’ve seen people queue even in extreme weather to enjoy our unique and tasty food,” said Jollibee Foods Corporation’s president and head of international business Dennis Flores. “We invite everyone – Chamorus, Micronesians, mainland Americans in Guam; everyone here in Guam – to come taste and see for themselves why people are willing to wait and line up for our food.”

    With Jollibee operating in Guam – where America’s day begins – the company says it can claim that it is serving food to more diners on American soil at any given moment of the day or night. Jollibee has 37 stores in the US.

    Jollibee, from its humble beginnings as an ice cream house in 1975, quickly grew into a fast-food giant with more than 1300 stores worldwide. Its openings have drawn queues with people lining up to 20 hours for a taste of their Jollibee favourites.

    Jollibee Foods to try Guam after a decade withdrawal

    Filipino fast-food giant Jollibee Foods plans to re-enter Guam this year after pulling out more than a decade ago as the islands went through an economic downturn.

    Jollibee Foods assistant VP/head of international franchising Maxi Peralata Jr says it will open a restaurant in a strategic location in the fourth quarter, near Marine Corps Drive and Route 16/Army Drive in Dededo.

    The outlet will be built within the Micronesia Mall compound, but this has not been confirmed by the mall’s management.

    Peralta says a franchisee has been appointed. He has not disclosed the franchisee’s identity but says their partner has business interests in Guam and the Philippines.

    Jollibee had two franchised restaurants on Guam and two on Saipan, but its Marianas presence ended with the economic downturn. Jollibee also had trouble competing with Guam players offering larger portions.

    Internationally, Jollibee has 139 stores – 72 in Vietnam, 32 in the US, 19 in the Middle East, 13 in Brunei, two in SIngapore and one in Hong Kong.
