Jollibee’s First Canadian Branch Warms Up Winnipeg

Jollibee opened its first store in Winnipeg, Canada, home to over 70,000 Filipinos last December 15. The inagural location was chosen because Winnipeg is home away from home for a lot of our countrymen, with Tagalog being the second-most common mother tongue language spoken. 

In typical Jollibee fashion, the store was welcomed by long cues with people lining up as early as 10:30 PM the night before. The crowd braved the -25 celsius weather to get a chance to taste a bit of home with Jollibee favorites Jolly Crispy Chicken, Peach Mango Pie, and Jolly Spaghetti. The store is the beginning of Jollibee’s aggressive North American expansion plans that is lined up until 2018. The store also created over 100 jobs for the people of Manitoba.

Jollibee executives and special guests gather around a giant bucket of fried chicken for the Jolly Crispy Chicken toast. Seen here are JFC Group President for North America and Foreign Franchise Brands Jose Miñana, VP and General Manager of Jollibee North America Maribeth dela Cruz, Honorary Consul Ronald Opina, Member of the Legislative Assembly for St. Norbert Jon Reyes, President of Sysco Winnipeg Blair Schmidt, Trevor Skinner, and other special guests.

Winnipeg City Mayor Brian Bowman (middle), and City Councilor Scott Gillingham of St. James ward (right) share hearty laughter with Jose Miñana (left) and the Jollibee mascot as they receive exclusive Jollibee dolls to commemorate the occasion.

Throngs of fans braved the cold to camp out before first Canadian store opening

“We are very encouraged by the turnout and excitement at the grand opening of Canada’s first Jollibee,” said Jose Miñana, Jollibee Foods Corporation’s Group President for North America and Foreign Franchise Brands. “It brings us great joy that we are able to bring a taste of home to Filipinos and a new culinary experience to Canadians.”

Social media exploded with posts describing just how happy the Filipino community was over the arrival of a childhood icon. An eight year old resident even said, “I’ve been in Canada for eight years and it feels like a touch of home has arrived with Jollibee opening in our neighborhood.”



This marks the first Jollibee store opening in Canada and the 35th in North America. In 2017, Jollibee plans to open three more stores in Canada, including one in Winnipeg.

Jollibee’s New Chickenjoy TVC invites Pinoys to #GiveMoreJoy

These days, Filipinos are exposed to different kinds of negativity whether you go online or offline. Friends unfollow or unfriend each other on social media because of differences in opinion, time is lost with families and friends due to heavy workload and heaps of school work.



It seems like now, more than ever, everyone needs more joy in their lives.
Jollibee, the Philippines’ largest family fast food chain launched a new campaign inviting Filipinos to spread more joy. Jollibee challenges everyone to start to #GiveMoreJoy even in the simplest of actions—something as simple as sharing a bucket of your favorite crispylicious, juicylicious Chickenjoy.

Jollibee’s classic and iconic product is one that Pinoys have definitely grown to know and love. Becoming the go-to comfort food of Pinoys no matter where they are around the globe, Filipinos would know that from the aroma to the flavor, Chickenjoy is a reliable source of joy and comfort.

Thus, in their latest 90-seconder made-for-digital video that shows different everyday situations that make people sad, see how the joy that Chickenjoy brings is infectious and makes us want to spread more joy to others as well.

Watch this video:


“It is easy to uplift people’s spirits and make everyday joyful through thoughtful acts like treating them to a bucket of the family’s favorite crispylicious, juicylicious Chickenjoy. It is a sure way to turn a sad day around; bringing smiles to their faces will positively affect your outlook as well,” said Jollibee Assistant Vice President Kent Mariano.
