Jollibee fast food

Jollibee is the flagship brand of the Jollibee Group, a global leader in the quick-service restaurant industry. Originally founded in the Philippines in 1978 by Tony Tan Caktiong, the brand began as a small ice cream parlor before pivoting to the savory menu that made it a household name, headlined by its world-famous 'Chickenjoy' fried chicken and 'Jolly Spaghetti.'

Ownership of the brand remains with the Jollibee Foods Corporation (JFC), which is headquartered in Pasig City, Metro Manila, Philippines. As of 2026, JFC continues to be the ultimate owner, though it has recently pursued a significant restructuring to hive off its international operations into a standalone entity—Jollibee Foods Corporation International—with plans for a U.S. listing by 2027 to boost global valuation and transparency.

Manufacturing and supply chain operations are localized to support its vast network of over 1,700 Jollibee branches (and over 10,000 group-wide stores) across more than 30 countries. The company operates major state-of-the-art commissaries such as the Zenith Foods Corporation in the Philippines and dedicated food processing facilities in China and Vietnam to ensure food quality and consistency across its global markets.
