Jollibee coming to Jax!

[seaspray]

I just came back from the Philippines and during peak hours the Jollibee's there are packed also, nowhere to sit (and there is a Jollibee every 2 blocks).

If this branch succeeds, the rest will follow (Seafood City, Red Ribbon/Goldilocks, Chow King).

In a world where there is a Seafood City and a create-your-own halo-halo bar...there would be no more war.

Another reason to stop by Jollibee...

Yay and boo at the same time.

It's great we are finally getting a Jollibee but I do wish it had more authentic Filipino food. Tocino is a good start but you have to ask for it directly rather than it being on the menu.

Bumping this thread back up because a new Filipino bakery just opened up across Atlantic Blvd. from the Jollibee. Friends who have visited say it's the real deal and the fact that they have been busy as hell with lines out the door and selling out early every day confirms it.

When Jollibee first came to Jax I wasn't that excited about the store itself more so what other stores and services it attracts that would also serve the Filipino community. Says a lot about Jax Fil-Ams that a billion peso Philippine food giant and a well renowned Northern California Filipino bake shop choose to establish their presence here and be very successful (and without squeezing out existing Filipino family-owned businesses to boot).

Having strong communities like this is not only a unique draw for visitors and entrepreneurs alike, but can be a source of pride for all Jaxsons that can be continued to be built upon and thrive.

Years later and the line is still wrapped around the corner at Jollibees!
