Jollibee Foods Corporation (abbreviated as JFC and Jollibee Group;[5] also known as Jollibee after its primary fast food brand) is a Philippine multinational company headquartered in Pasig, Metro Manila, Philippines. JFC is the owner of the fast food brand Jollibee.

With the success of its flagship brand, JFC acquired some of its competitors in the fast food business in the Philippines and abroad such as Chowking, Greenwich, Red Ribbon, and Mang Inasal.[6] As of September 2022, JFC operates more than 6,300 stores worldwide,[7] with system-wide retail sales totaling ₱210.9 billion.[7]

In 1975, Tony Tan Caktiong and his family opened a Magnolia Ice Cream parlor in Cubao, Quezon City[8] which is credited as the first Jollibee outlet.[9] The Magnolia outlets operated by the Tan Caktiong clan began offering hot meals and sandwiches upon request from the customers which the family found out to be more popular than the franchise's ice cream. In 1978, the family decided to cancel the Magnolia franchise and converted the ice cream parlors they operated into fast food outlets.[10] Management consultant Manuel C. Lumba advised the family of the move.[8]

The Jollibee Foods Corporation was incorporated in January 1978.[note 1] It opened its first store overseas opened in Singapore in 1985 at the Katong Shopping Centre;[13][14] that location closed only a year later[15]

Jollibee experienced rapid growth. It was able to withstand the entry of McDonald's in the Philippines in 1981 by focusing on the specific tastes of the Filipino market, which differed from the American fast food company.[16] On July 13, 1993, JFC was listed at the Philippine Stock Exchange.[17]

In 2011, JFC opened 260 new stores, of which 167 were in the Philippines led by Mang Inasal (86) and Jollibee (40). This brought the company's total number of stores to 2,001 as of the end of December 2011. The same year, Jollibee closed Manong Pepe foodchain in favor of Mang Inasal,[18] and sold Délifrance to CaféFrance.[19] Overseas, Jollibee opened 93 stores, led by Yonghe King in China (70) and Jollibee Vietnam (11).[20]

It has 1,668 locations across 17 countries as of July, 2024 with its recent opening in Canada, the brand’s 100th store in North America.[21]

Data breach

In June, 2024, JFC probed computer security data breach by hackers which affected its 32 million food delivery service customers. It responded to Deep Web Konek’s social media post on “Sp1d3r.”[22][incomprehensible]

Acquisition history

Philippine brands

Chowking, one of the company's fast food chain brands

The company acquired 80% of Greenwich Pizza in 1994. From a 50-branch operation, Greenwich gradually established a strong presence in the food service industry. In early 2006, Jollibee Foods Corp. bought out the remaining shares of its partners in Greenwich Pizza Corp., equivalent to a 20% stake, for ₱384 million in cash.[23] In 2000, the company acquired Chowking, a Chinese fast food restaurant, thus making Jollibee a part of the Asian quick service restaurant segment. In 2005, Jollibee acquired Red Ribbon, a bakeshop business in the Philippines.[24][25]

On October 19, 2010, Jollibee acquired 70% share of Mang Inasal, a Filipino food chain specializing in barbecued chicken, for ₱3 billion ($68.8 million).[26][27][28]

JFC subsidiary Fresh N' Famous Foods, Inc. manages the Greenwich and Chowking brands. The Red Ribbon brand is under Red Ribbon Bakeshop Inc. which in turn is managed by a holding company of the JFC, RRB Holdings, Inc. The firm has also stakes on Burger King's outlets in the Philippines through Perf Restaurants, Inc. which is 54 percent owned by JFC as of 2012.[11]

Ltd., operators of the San Pin Wang beef noodle business for 30 million RMB.[34]

Its restaurants in mainland China are responsible for about 12% of the company's total sales, mostly through chains it acquired.[16]

The Yonghe King, Hong Zhuang Yuan & San Pin Wang chains are under JFC's SuperFoods Group.[11] In May 2018, Jollibee Food Corporation announced that it has acquired the master franchise of Tim Ho Wan, a Michelin-star dim sum restaurant chain in Asia Pacific, for SG$45 million (₱1.74 billion) from its private equity fund investment Titan Dining Partners Limited. Tim Ho Wan Private holds the exclusive long-term master franchise to run Tim Ho Wan within the Asia Pacific region, excluding ones in Hong Kong. Dim Sum Private, on the other hand, owns and operates Tim Ho Wan chains in Singapore.[35]
