Jollibee, a global restaurant brand known for its savory Chickenjoy fried chicken, crispy chicken sandwiches and Peach Mango Pie dessert, opens its first location in Dallas, Wednesday, Nov 29, on 4703 Greenville Avenue, northeast of the Lower Greenville community.
Its company-wide mission aims to bring a taste of happiness and chicken to consumers around the world. This will be Jollibee’s first Dallas location and its sixth location in Texas and 100th store opening in North America.
In 2018, the company announced plans to expand its footprint to the United States. At the time it had 37 Jollibee stores with a goal of having 150 within five years, according to previous Advocate reporting.
Jollibee is a part of Jollibee Foods Co., which is the largest and fastest-growing Asian restaurant company in the world, according to Jollibee. The restaurant was declared “the best chain fried chicken in America,” by Easter.com.
“We are excited to grow our presence and spread joy in Texas, especially as it is currently enjoying such tremendous growth,” said Maribeth Dela Cruz, Business Group Head, Honeybee Foods Corporation dba Jollibee. “Dallas is not only booming, it is also rich with culture and diversity, which creates the perfect setting to bring our warm and vibrant energy to residents looking to explore and learn about Jollibee and all our amazing, flavorful menu items.”
