    Jollibee Winnipeg first Canadian foothold

    Filipino restaurant company and global fast-food chain Jollibee Foods Corporation (JFC) has opened its first Canadian outlet, Jollibee Winnipeg.

    With 35 stores already in North America, it plans to continue its march into Canada with three more outlets next year, at Winnipeg Northgate, Scarborough, and Mississauga, to be followed by Edmonton in 2018.

    In the US, it is also set to open its first store in the state of Florida, in Jacksonville, and its first store for Manhattan, New York.

    “It has been a joy to see the happiness families experience when visiting our locations in the US, and we are thrilled to now bring that same feeling into Canada at such a festive time like this,” says JFC group president for north America and foreign franchise brands Jose Minana.

    “Winnipeg is a fitting choice for Jollibee’s first Canadian store because it has largest density of Filipinos to the total population of the city,” says JFC North America VP/GM Maribeth dela Cruz.

    JFC is currently the largest Asian restaurant company in market capitalisation, working in 12 markets including Brunei, China, Hong Kong, Singapore and Vietnam. It has 3236 stores globally, of which 1111 are Jollibee branded. Other brands in its portfolio are Burger King, Chowking, Greenwich, Hong Zhuang Yuanm Mang Inasal, Red Ribbon and Yonghe King.

    JFC also has investments with the brands 12 Hotpot, Highlands Coffee, Pho 24, Dunkin Donuts in China, and US-based burger chain Smashburger.

    Jollibee profit soars as Filipinos order more

    Jollibee Foods has reported  13.8 per cent global sales growth in its nine-month net profit as sales soared to P4.39 billion (US$88.2 million).

    Most of the Jollibee profit growth came from the domestic market where sales rose 16 per cent year-on-year, with the expanding offshore business returning 6.4 per cent growth.

    During the third quarter, net profit rose 6.1 per cent to P1.33 billion.

    “Sales of our businesses continued to be strong. We expect to end the year 2016 with the highest system-wide sales growth in five years and the highest organic growth in at least a decade driven by strong same store sales growth and the highest store network expansion,” said Jollibee CEO Ernesto Tanmantiong in an earnings statement.

    Jollibee, Asia’s largest food company, grew systemwide sales in the third quarter by 12.4 per cent to P36.32 billion, taking nine-month sales to P107.76 billion or 14.1 per cent higher.

    On a global basis, sales from the same-store network grew by 6 per cent year-on-year while new stores contributed a growth of 6.4 per cent.

    Tanmantiong said the company was encouraged by improvements in China, which helped its international business return to growth.

    “We look forward to continued recovery of our China business in the months ahead with the introduction of new products. Our plans for 2017 and the years ahead call for continued strong same store sales growth and store network expansion in the Philippines and abroad with the aim of surpassing our historical performance,” he said.

    JFC opened 201 new stores between January and September – 133 in the Philippines and 68 abroad. That’s a higher number than for the whole of 2015, when 186 opened.

    Jollibee’s CFO Ysmael Baysa said gross profit margins on the company’s products improved in the third quarter as raw material prices stabilised.

    At the end of September Jollibee had 3221 stores worldwide, 2547 of them in the Philippines. It also has a stake in Highlands Coffee in Vietnam and the Philippines, Pho 24 in Vietnam, Indonesia, Cambodia, Korea and Australia, Hotpot in China Smashburger in the US.
